Letter From the Editor: Aram Bakshian Jr.
Louis XIV was the absolute master of his realm at a time when France was the most powerful country in western civilization. He also had the longest reign in European history, inheriting his crown as a small child and ruling from 1643 until his death in 1715 a few weeks before his 77th birthday. Louis was obsessed with power and gloried in the title of “The Sun King” because it implied that he, like the sun itself, was the center of the universe.
