There are several reasons why Louis XIV of France is the one of the greatest and the most memorable king of the world. The initial reason is he was the king in the golden era of Europe. Louis XIV was Europe's longest reigning monarch and he had the strong commitment to expand France's territories. He became a king since he was five, and he was on the throne for 72 years. When he was young his mother had to served as his regent until he grew enough to undertake this big duty. Aside from the first reason, he was the first one who developed in many parts of France's regime. He started using an absolute monarchy which helped to decrease the group of nobles who wanted to revolt. Beside, he made the rule that protected slaves from the cruel masters.
