Louis XIV of France
From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.
Louis XIV (Louis-Dieudonné) (5 September 1638–1 September 1715) was the King of France and King of Navarre from 14 May 1643 until his death. While he became king on May 14, 1643, he was only four years old so he had to wait 16 years until he could rule. He started ruling when he was 21 years old.
Louis' parents were Louis XIII and Anne of Austria. Because Louis XIV was too young to rule, his mother ruled France with Cardinal Mazarin until Louis turned 21.
