 Although The Nervous Wreckords was Karscig's solo effort after Louis XIV, Karscig started his first solo record under his birth name Brian Karscig due out early 2017.
Charles of France, Duke of Berry, (31 July 1686 – 5 May 1714) was a grandson of Louis XIV of France.
 Although he was only a grandson of Louis XIV, Berry held the rank of "fils de France" ("son of France"), rather than "petit-fils de France" ("grandson of France"), as the son of the Dauphin, heir apparent to the throne.
 The Duke of Berry was for seven years heir presumptive to the throne of Spain (1700–1707).
The Taking of Power by Louis XIV (French: "La prise de pouvoir par Louis XIV" ), also called The Rise of Louis XIV, is a French television film by Italian film director Roberto Rossellini.
 The film revolves around the French king Louis XIV's rise to power after the death of his powerful advisor, Cardinal Mazarin.
 To achieve this political autonomy, Louis deals with his mother and the court nobles, all of whom makes the assumption that Mazarin's death will give them more power.
Louis XIV (5 September 16381 September 1715), known as Louis the Great ("Louis le Grand ") or the Sun King ("le Roi Soleil "), was a monarch of the House of Bourbon who reigned as King of France from 1643 until his death in 1715.
 His reign of 72 years and 110 days is the longest recorded of any monarch of a sovereign country in European history.
 In the age of absolutism in Europe, Louis XIV's France was a leader in the growing centralization of power.
Alain Manesson Mallet (1630–1706) was a French cartographer and engineer.
 He started his career as a soldier in the army of Louis XIV, became a Sergeant-Major in the artillery and an Inspector of Fortifications.
 He also served under the King of Portugal, before returning to France, and his appointment to the court of Louis XIV.
 His military engineering and mathematical background led to his position teaching mathematics at court.
The Death of Louis XIV (French: La Mort de Louis XIV ) is a 2016 historical drama film written and directed by Albert Serra and starring Jean-Pierre Léaud as King Louis XIV.
 The film was screened out of competition at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival.
 It made its North American premiere at the 2016 Toronto International Film Festival and its U.S. premiere at the 54th New York Film Festival.
The Siege of Cuneo was fought on 28 June 1691 during Nine Years' War in Piedmont-Savoy, modern-day northern Italy.
 The siege was part of King Louis XIV’s campaign against Victor Amadeus, the Duke of Savoy, who had sided with the Grand Alliance the previous year.
 The siege was an attempt to gain a foothold on the Piedmont Plain, thus ensuring Marshal Catinat's army could winter east of the Alps.
 Yet due to the incompetence of the two French commanders (in fact, General Vivien de Bulonde, because of decoded messages from Louis XIV to Catinat authorizing his punishment, has been proposed by some to have been the Man in the Iron Mask) – and a timely arrival of Imperial reinforcements – the siege proved a disaster, resulting in the loss of between 700 and 800 men.
 Although French forces had taken Nice in the west, and Montmélian in the north, Catinat’s small, ill-equipped army was forced onto the defensive.
 Louis XIV subsequently offered Amadeus generous peace terms but the Duke, who had by now received substantial Imperial reinforcements from the Empire, considered himself strong enough to continue hostilities.
17th-century French literature was written throughout the "Grand Siècle" of France, spanning the reigns of Henry IV of France, the Regency of Marie de Medici, Louis XIII of France, the Regency of Anne of Austria (and the civil war called the Fronde) and the reign of Louis XIV of France.
 The literature of this period is often equated with the Classicism of Louis XIV's long reign, during which France led Europe in political and cultural development; its authors expounded the classical ideals of order, clarity, proportion and good taste.
 In reality, 17th-century French literature encompasses far more than just the classicist masterpieces of Jean Racine and Madame de La Fayette.
The Age of Louis XIV (""Le Siècle de Louis XIV"", also translated The Century of Louis XIV) is a historical work by the French historian, philosopher, and writer Voltaire, first published in 1751.
 Through it, the French 17th century became identified with Louis XIV of France, who reigned from 1643 to 1715.
The Edict of Fontainebleau (22 October 1685) was an edict issued by Louis XIV of France, also known as the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes.
 The Edict of Nantes (1598) had granted the Huguenots the right to practice their religion without persecution from the state.
 Though Protestants had lost their independence in places of refuge under Richelieu, they continued to live in comparative security and political contentment.
 From the outset, religious toleration in France had been a royal, rather than a popular policy.
 The lack of universal adherence to his religion did not sit well with Louis XIV's vision of perfected autocracy: "Bending all else to his will, Louis XIV resented the presence of heretics among his subjects."
