## Personality

Louis likes the finer things in life, and liked to use money to boast about what he could achieve - hence the building of Versailles. He put his duties as a king first, but he also had a softer side when it came to people in his life, like Henriette.

He is envious of this brother, Philippe's, freedom. He wishes he could have the same, but being King is very important to him. He can be seen to have a strong personality, especially when he is butting heads with his brother. The fact that they do not see eye to eye made things difficult for Louis, but the smooth running of both Versailles and France were paramount to him.

## Biography

### **Early Life**

Louis XIV was born on 5 September 1638 in the Château de Saint-Germain-en-Laye, to Louis XIII and Anne of Austria. He was named *Louis Dieudonné (Louis the God-given)* and bore the traditional title of French heirs apparent: *Dauphin*. At the time of his birth, his parents had been married for 23 years. His mother had experienced four stillbirths between 1619 and 1631.

Sensing imminent death, Louis XIII decided to put his affairs in order in the spring of 1643, when Louis XIV was four years old. In defiance of custom, which would have made Queen Anne the sole *Regent of France*, the king decreed that a regency council would rule on his son's behalf. His lack of faith in Queen Anne's political abilities was his primary rationale. He did, however, make the concession of appointing her head of the council.

It was his mother who gave Louis his belief in the absolute and divine power of his monarchical rule.

### Season One

* **Welcome To Versailles**

Louis has the crazy idea that he, as king, has ultimate power. And he is adamant that he will not return to Paris. Instead he will turn his father’s hunting lodge into a palace; a temple to the gods, with himself as the sole authority in France.

## History

Before it was a palace, Louis XIII of France built it as his personal hunting lodge in 1624 as part of his getaway from Paris. The first phase of Versailles lasted 15 years with the addition of new wings placed around the mansion, including a garden. Several fountains and statues were erected during the first phase of construction. Phase 2 begin immediately after the first phase was done and lasted 37 years. There were newer additions to the Château de Versailles, including the Hall of Mirrors, the most celebrated room of the Palace of Versailles built in 1678, the Grand Trianon, formerly the Trianon de porcelaine which was constructed in 1670 and completed in 1708, and the Royal Chapel of Versailles which was built from 1688 to 1708. One of the biggest problems in building the palace were the finances. Coffers were being drained in the constructing of the palace and the budget for furniture were outrageously high. There were also a matter of wars and affairs impeding the process. Louis wanted to build a palace to his vision. He was considered the Sun King because he wanted to be the center of attention, and built Versailles to resemble his image and glory. The construction ended in 1715, the exact same year Louis XIV died of gangrene.
Louise de La Fayette

**Louise de La Fayette** was a close friend and confidant of Louis XIII of France.

Even though, she refused, nevertheless, to become Louis's mistress, she was his secret lover and mother of his son *Robert de Bourbon* in the series.

## Biography

### **Early Life**

Louise was one of the fourteen children of Jean comte de La Fayette, and Marguerite de Bourbon-Busset. She was born in Amathay-Vésigneux. Her mother was a member of House Bourbon-Busset an illegitimate branch of the royal House of Bourbon. Her sister-in-law was Madame de La Fayette (1634–1693) the author of La Princesse de Clèves, France's first historical novel and one of the earliest novels in literature.

### **Life at French Court**

Through her grandmother, Louise de Bourbon-Busset, she came to the French court to Paris, and became maid-of-honor to Anne of Austria. In 1635 Cardinal Richelieu sought to attract the attention of Louis XIII to her in the hope that she might counterbalance the influence exercised over him by Marie de Hautefort.

However, "[t]he hedonism and promiscuity of many courtiers repelled [Louis XIII] and attempts to provide him with a mistress failed lamentably." The affair did not turn out as the minister wished. The King was attracted to Louise because of her "innocence and purity", and he did indeed make her the confidante of his affairs. But when he divulged to her his resentment for the Cardinal, she, far from repeating Louis's confidences to the minister, set herself to encourage the King in his resistance to Richelieu's dominion.

She refused, nevertheless, to become Louis's mistress, and after taking leave of the King in Anne of Austria's presence, retired to the convent of the Order of the Visitation of Holy Mary in 1637.

### **Life as a nun**

As a Visitandine nun she was repeatedly visited by Louis, with whom she maintained a correspondence. Richelieu intercepted the letters, and by omissions and falsifications succeeded in destroying their mutual confidence. The cessation of their intercourse was regretted by the queen, who had been reconciled with her husband through the influence of Louise. At the time of her death in January 1665, Mlle de La Fayette was superior of a convent of her order which she had founded in 1651 with Henrietta Maria widow of Charles I of England at Chaillot.

## Historical Notes

* Louise de la Fayette is said to have reconciled the French royal couple again. At the height of her disgrace, the Buckingham Scandal (1625) and the Chalais Affair (1626), Anne of Austria gave birth to a son on 5 September 1638, the future King Louis XIV.
* Her mother was a member of the house *Bourbon-Busset* which is an illegitimate branch of the House of Bourbon.

William of Orange

## Biography

### **William of Orange**

William inherited the principality of Orangefrom his father, William II, who died a week before William's birth. His mother, Mary, was the daughter of King Charles I of England. In 1677, William married his fifteen-year-old first cousin, Mary, the daughter of his maternal uncle James, Duke of York.

A Protestant, William participated in several wars against the powerful Catholic King of France, Louis XIV, in coalition with Protestant and Catholic powers in Europe. Many Protestants heralded him as a champion of their faith. In 1685, William's Catholic uncle and father-in-law, James, became king of England, Scotland and Ireland. James's reign was unpopular with the Protestant majority in Britain. William, supported by a group of influential British political and religious leaders, invaded England in what became known as the Glorious Revolution. On 5 November 1688, he landed at the southern English port of Brixham. James was deposed and William and his wife became joint sovereigns in his place. William and Mary reigned together until Mary's death on 28 December 1694, after which William ruled as sole monarch.

William's reputation as a staunch Protestant enabled him to take power in Britain when many were fearful of a revival of Catholicism under James. William's victory at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690 is still commemorated by loyalists in Northern Ireland and Scotland. His reign in Britain marked the beginning of the transition from the personal rule of the Stuartsto the more Parliament-centred rule of the House of Hanover.

Lady-in-waiting

A **lady-in-waiting** or a **court lady** is a female personal assistant at a court, royal or feudal, attending on a royal woman or a high-ranking noblewoman.

Historically, in Europe, a lady-in-waiting was often a noblewoman, but of lower rank than of the woman on whom she attended. Although she may either have been a retainer or may not have received compensation for the service she rendered, a lady-in-waiting was considered more of a courtier or companion to her mistress than a servant.

## Notes & Trivia

The dagger's inscription 'diaboli mors' is from the Wisdom of Solomon, but this was a standard part of the Vulgate Catholic Bible and a Catholic Bishop like Bousset would have considered it neither part of the 'apocrypha' (a Protestant notion) nor 'troublesome' to the Church.

Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet

**Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet** is a French bishop and the court preacher of Louis XIV.

## Biography

### **Early Life**

Bossuet was born at Dijon. He came from a family of prosperous Burgundian lawyers – on both his paternal and maternal side, his ancestors had held legal posts for at least a century. His parents decided on a career in the churchfor their fifth son, so he was tonsured at age 10.

The boy was sent to school at the Collège des Godrans, a classical school run by the Jesuitsof Dijon. When his father was appointed to the parlement at Metz, Bossuet was left in Dijon under the care of his uncle Claude Bossuet d'Aiseray, a renowned scholar. At the Collège des Godrans, he gained a reputation for hard work. His father's influence at Metz allowed him to obtain for the young Bossuet a canonicate in the cathedral of Metz when the boy was just 13 years old.

In 1642, Bossuet enrolled in the Collège de Navarre in Paris to finish his classical studies and to begin the study of philosophy and theology. His mentor at Navarre was the college's president, Nicolas Cornet, the theologian whose denunciation of Antoine Arnauld at the Sorbonne in 1649 was a major episode in the Jansenist controversy.

For the time being, however, Cornet and Arnaud were still on good terms. In 1643, Arnaud introduced Bossuet to the Hôtel de Rambouillet, a great centre of aristocratic culture and the original home of the Précieuses.

Bossuet became a Master of Arts in 1643. He held his first thesis (tentativa) in theology on 25 January 1648, in the presence of the Prince de Condé. Later in 1648, he became a sub-deacon at Metz. He became a deacon in 1649. During this period, he preached his first sermons.

He held his second thesis (sorbonica) on November 9, 1650. Then, in preparation for the priesthood, he spent the next two years in retirement under the spiritual direction of Vincent de Paul.

In January 1652, Bossuet re-entered public life, being named Archdeacon of Sarrebourg. He was ordained a priest on 18 March 1652. A few weeks later, he defended his brilliant doctoral work and became a Doctor of Divinity.

Nevertheless, his time at Metz was an important time for developing his pulpit oratory and for allowing him to continue his studies of Scripture and the Fathers. He also gained political experience through his participation in the local Assembly of the Three Orders.

In 1657, in Metz, Bossuet preached before Anne of Austria, mother of Louis XIV. As a result, he received the honorific title of "Counselor and Preacher to the King".

In 1657, St. Vincent de Paul convinced Bossuet to move to Paris and give himself entirely to preaching.

Bossuet quickly gained a reputation as a great preacher, and by 1660, he was preaching regularly before the court in the Chapel Royal. In 1662, he preached his famous sermon "On the Duties of Kings" to Louis XIV at the Louvre.
