Versailles: The Dream of a King Part 1

The film recreates the life and loves of France's most famous king, Louis XIV. Dubbed the Sun King by his admiring court, Louis conquered half of Europe, conducted dozens of love affairs and dazzled his contemporaries with his lavish entertainments. But perhaps his greatest achievement - and certainly his longest lasting love - was the incredible palace he built at Versailles, one of the wonders of the world.

@boss180888 You might be right, although the brand "Playboy" will keep entertaining the new generations for many years to come and HH will always be known as the genius behind it. I was simply debating with the other individual about the fact that you do not necessarily need to be a king to have a great life. HH, for instance, has had a life 1 million times better than the French king.

I see nothing wrong with the old time royals enjoying the fruits of theyre labours! And, contrary to beliefe, many nobles were humane as they could be,(within the social order of the time), with peasents, town folk, etc. These good nobles are overlooked by history. Only bad nobles get the spotlight.
