Louis XIV: The World's Longest Reigning Monarch | 1715: The Sun King is Dead | Real Royalty
Vložit
- čas přidán 8. 09. 2022
- His reign was the longest in world history. In fact, his contemporaries thought the Sun King to be immortal. But in the summer of 1715, Louis XIV finally met his fate and died at the age of 76 in his architectural masterpiece: the Chateau of Versailles. His painful agony due to a devastating disease - gangrene - lasted 23 days and revealed the incompetence of physicians, furtive court intrigues and jealousies. His death caused a crisis of succession with consequences that would affect the whole of Europe. Louis XIV’s passing brought an end to the Grand Siècle and heralded the birth of the Enlightenment.
Louis XIV faced his death with the same panache he had shown throughout his entire reign. It was a magnificent show, a ‘good death’, performed in public. The final act of an extraordinary life that would seal the legend of the greatest king of France.
Filmed in Versailles, Notre-Dame of Paris and at the Basilica of Saint Denis, this film blends historical reconstructions, rare archives, period journals, and the contributions of contemporary experts, to pay homage as never before to the most legendary of France’s kings.
From Elizabeth II to Cleopatra, Real Royalty peels back the curtain to give a glimpse into the lives of some of the most influential families in the world, with new full length documentaries posted every week covering the monarchies of today and all throughout history.

The fact that this was posted the DAY AFTER queen elizabeth ii died... king Louis xiv flexing from beyond the grave
This was made in 2015, though, so how does that work.
@@Oscurosno it wasn't. In the description it says it was published in 2022

Well, Louis’s record is secure once again. We will probably never see another monarch with such a long reign. Louis held this record for the sole reason that he was so young when he came to the throne, only 4 years old.
France be like:
How? Weren't they supposed to be 13 years old at least?
@@SkyCloudSilence his father died when he was a very young child, so while Louis XIV was technically king at 5, the country was actually being run by a council of regents until Louis came into his majority at 13
@@deanblanton6804 Also because of his constitution, seemingly able to cope with common illnesses that would've killed most others. And you're right, although he officially took a vertical and total control over the government at the age of 22: with a majestic flourish, dominating the audience and bequeathing to it a horizon of universality symbolized by the enlightening Sun, he proclaimed his transcendence, officially instating the Royal King in its purest form, under the will and devine representation of power (along a rising notion of a Nation and its People)... Which would translate into an effective reign of 54 years.
In order to compare with fairness, we'd need to consider the type of effective powers a monarch could or would personally have had, above ageist attitudes: many monarchs had some kind of "regency", either imposed either required (the "sinister minister" lurking on the back, that Richelieu would have been for instance), during decades if not their whole life. Before that age (22) and when he was mature enough to emotionally emancipate himself from his mother's (which happened quite fast after having experienced "the Fronde"), as you mentioned since around the age of 13-14, he would have lived a reign with the obligation to compose with ministers, counselors, plus his mother on his back, along all sorts of most common shenanigans taking place anywhere in a similar context: like some other monarchs, although he was in a "learning-devising" phase... In short, the term "reign" was relative.
IMHO, Elizabeth II was the longest-reigning monarch, beginning at age 25. But what kind of a reign, how long -if ever- as a monarch in its purest Royal attributes?... Maybe that's why I loved her, even though I consider myself as a sovereigntist (the tenure of an elegant, distinguished, pleasantly empathetic and respectful person, being more appealing than a mere show of brute-force interference - which was of Ottawa's colonial governance)... But that'd be another story of History.
Its sad that his dying speech to his grandson fell on deaf ears. His grandson didnt follow those instructions at all, he did quite the opposite.
Great-Grandson, but still your point stands. Sorry I am a little pedantic about familial relations.
And to be fair his great grandson was still a child back then like he was.

I had a fistula when I was in college. I didn't seek treatment quickly enough. I walked to class one day and up 3 flights of stairs. When I sat down, the fistula ruptured and the pain caused me to immediately pass out. I woke up in the hospital after the surgery to repair it. I have no memory of anything past climbing the stairs. The rest of the story was relayed to me by my roommate, who had walked with me to class (We were in the same period). It took me six months to recover. To this day I have sensitivity at the fistula site. So those who hoped Louis XIV would suffer got their wish...
I too have had an extremely painful fistula. No fun
Don't forget that queen Elizabeth II has had the unprecedented advantage of receiving top medical attention and the benefits of the latest medical discoveries.Louis XIV lived in an age of no anaesthetics,no antibiotics,no vaccines,primitive hygeine even for royalty so his "record' is a lot lot more impressive.Actually he survived an operation for anal fistula-that would have been without anaesthesia and antibiotics -just think about it!!!I think Louis gets the kudos here not Liz.
QE II was born far before vaccinations were common. The polio vaccine wasn’t even available until the 1950’s. Measles still killed people. Just a few facts for you to consider. Many even today have no to little healthcare even in ‘civilized’ countries.
Very fair point!
@@thatjayne Your comment is so cringeworthy as barely deserving a response!The average life span for a man even a royal one was probably around 40 those days whereas today in the First World it's about 80 for men and 83 for women and the vast improvement is due largely to better health standards especially hygiene.The germ theory of disease was not developed until Pasteur's discoveries mid 19th century.Louis XIV like I said survived an operation for anal fistula without anaesthesia and antibiotics I can't imagine too many people doing that nowadays.Even queen Victoria enjoyed the benefits of anaesthetics .And queen Elizabeth lived in one of the most prosperous and advanced countries in the world not in a third world country.Back in the time of Louis a huge proportion of children died in infancy -it became much much lower as the 20th century progressed.
@@kaloarepo288 The average life span was shorter in the past as you said because of the high death rate of children. As long as he was not a soldier, once a man lived past their 5th birthday, he tended to live a lot longer than 40. Contemporary monarchs of Louis lived into their 60s and 70s. Although as you noted enduring surgery in those days was a feat.
@@brontewcat I realize that the upper classes had longer lifespans as did the clergy but don't forget that there were many diseases and conditions that are relatively easy to control today that were lethal then -e.g.diabetes .Other great killers or maimers were small pox and syphilis .Also the upper classes often had no idea concerning a suitable diet and gorged themselves on fatty and sugary foods giving them strokes or terrible teeth.If you could avoid falling into the hands of the doctors you probably had a better chance to survive unlike today!!!!Bleeding seemed to have been the supposed cure for every malady.In the time of Louis XIV kings still personally led troops into battle and the last British king to do so was George II in the battle of Dettingen which was about 1742.Personally I think one of the major reasons for longevity today besides hygiene is mental attitude.The mindset then was that everything was foreordained and you could not take much control of your destiny and you went through a life with ritual type stages.Nowadays even elderly people tend to have the mindset of youth -these can be seen in the way they dress and their hobbies -they attempt to delay the ageing process through positive attitude.
Queen Elizabeth ii was a year and half off breaking his record, i was upset she was so close to actually becoming the worlds longest reiging monarch
I always reference King Louis XIV as "The Man With the Most Maginificent Legs" because of that one portrait where Louis is posing with just subtle sassiness. Like hand on hip, legs fully shown, and a look of "Yes, these calves are excellent😏"
He poised like a lady. 😆.
They were not his legs and that was pretty common Royal attire for the time. Louis XV and Louis XVI both wore it for their Coronation paintings.
@@b1crusade384 He did not, ballet (The feet's positions are the first for ballet.) was a man's dance but Louis XIV did open it up for women. He was a prolific dancer until late in life.

One of the things that must be realised is that Louis XIV only believed his incompetent doctors who were still practicing medieval medicine (humours, bloodletting and such nonsense). New-fangled ideas and progress in medicine routinely had been cast aside by him. This means he did not receive good treatment himself. It greatly frustrated his entourage. For instance, in the Netherlands, van Leeuwenhoek had invented the microscope and saw bacteria. Herman Boerhave, also Dutch, made medicine make a giant leap forward. It was all rejected by Louis XIV.
So stubbornness killed him.
Not only useless medieval medicine but some of their treatments on him were horrific.
Some of their barbarous dental work left him with a hole through his soft pallet into his nose. They decided to fill it with Molten iron.
However he became king as a 4 year old. The Queen is the longest reigning monarch as an adult.
I am not talking about ruling, just the length of reigns as an adult. All of these records are qualified in some way. The late Queen is the longest reigning monarch (of either a sovereign or a non sovereign realm) as an adult whose reign can be verified. I am not quite sure how the fact Louis XIV was an actual ruler, rather than a constitutional monarch changes the fact he was considered a child for at least a decade into his reign.
Edit:
The longest reigning monarch, whose reign is verified by historical record, is Sobhuza II of Swaziland. To say Louis XIV has the longest reign one has to add the qualification of a sovereign country. If a further qualification is added of an adult reign, then the record changes again. I really am very surprised at the number of people who feel the need to push back at the idea of looking at reigns as adult monarchs.
Oh my god that was my first thought seeing the title 🤣 I’m like “yeah he was a toddler when he became king, it’s gonna put him up there”
Cool. And Louis XIV is the longest reigning monarch in history.....Elizabeth II falls in 2nd place behind him. That's the facts!!
Elizabeth was little more than a rubber stamp, Louis actually ruled his country
@@sneebysneeb Which is why the Queen is described as having reigned not ruled. However Louis did not begin his personal rule until he was about 14.

Is he semi mythical though?
Pepe the Frog who?
@@jamiemohan2049 No he's completely real. It's just that as of rn we're unsure of whether Pepi the 2nd reigned for 64 or 94 years. It was originally thought to be 94 but a notable Egyptologist believes it to be a mistranslation. If it was 94 years he would definitely take Louis title as longest reigning monarch but I believe that even if it isn't we'll eventually find some leader who reigned longer than Louis. The sheer amount of monarchs in history makes it more a case of when than if.
Reckon existing Royals ever go down CZcams rabbit holes, watching documentaries like this?
I wonder if any celebrity does so as well. Mainly I wonder if they watch videos criticising their films or ideas for future ones.

If Queen Elizabeth had become queen also at the age of four, her reign would have been 92 years long. No contest there.

What started the gangrene? Possibly having treatments / surgery for the fistula without antibiotics as a preventative measure?
The gangrene was senile, meaning that it was brought about as a result of the natural aging process and unavoidable decline in health. Absolutely incredible Louis XIV made it to that age in the first place.

@@bewilderedbrit8928 Not in the best of ways unfortunately. His regent and uncle Philippe Duke of Orléans neglected his education as a boy and moved the court back to paris. Even after moving back to Versailles, the etiquette policies made under Louis XIV were undone and many nobles went back to living in Paris. During his reign, Louis XV lived generally carefree and let his advisors run things for him. He was smart but also meek and lacked real ambitions. He did try to fix things near the end of his reign but he’d die before competing it. In many ways he was responsible for the french revolution

17:00 I'm not sure that translating French Livres as simply "Pounds" gets across the value properly. The French Livre was equivalent to a Pound, but a Pound of Silver, which by then was usually represented as a gold coin, like the Sovereign Gold coin in the UK. That's £299.68 GBP in modern prices for a Pound of Silver, using actual imperial and not US "imperial", giving a total of £599,360,000 GBP in modern prices.

If one is to brag about King Louis XIV, I should think it would be most about his great accomplishments in every field. I understand he rarely slept, worked all the time. He brought in the Age of Enlightenment, did he not? But sadly, Versailles is currently conflicted in presentation due to the Napoleon influence... I agree w/others commenting that he isn't the longest reigning monarch in world history. Still, The Sun King deserves a lot of respect; he did a lot of good for all time.
Sorry, but you got your facts wrong. Louis 14 did have the longest reign. He became king at the age of 4. There is nothing in Versailles that is Napoleonic. Are you not confusing with Fontainebleau or another chateaux?
@@nancywages7029 Hey, Nancy: See the most recent virtual tour of Versailles. Lots of Nap junk over imposed & seems to be the major emphasis of the tour, practically forgetting The Sun King entirely because Nap took up residence there during his little stint as emperor. I thought it a major shame. The Sun King was incredible w/massive accomplishments, but at age 4 didn't get much reigning in, more like playing in for quite a while before getting to work. Still, "Pharaoh Pepi II was the longest reigning monarch spanning 94 years." ER, Elizabeth the Great, comes in as the longest reigning adult monarch.

I agree with brontew cat.......... He was crowned at age 4. If he were crowned like most kings and queens are at an adult age, let's say the same age as Queen Elizabeth II at 25 years old, he would have reigned only 52 years as opposed to her 70 years. His mother was regent until he was able to take control of the realm when he was about 25. So, I consider QE II to be the longest reigning monarch in all of history.
😆. NO!
You really have a weird fantasy world. In the real world, Louis XIV is and always will be the longest reigning monarch so stop your crying.
He ruled u know and survived though countless illnesses without modern medicine while the Queen lived in a time where medicine was pretty good and she didn’t rule basically ever she was ceremonial and the only stress was the Cold War while the French king was a beast of a man who survived measles,typhoid,smallpox,etc without antibiotics or a the sea and the guy ruled and went to war so yeah
irrelevant. and life expectancy 400 years ago was about 50.

When people claim that the sun king , Louis XIV hold the world record of being the longest sovereign or monarch to be on the throne , they forget to acknowledge that the french sun king (1638-1715 ) became king at age 5 in 1643 , and was crowned at age 16 in the year 1554 ...being king at age 5 or 8 is a joke ....Elizabeth became queen at age 25 and outlived the sun king for 20 years...record that noone will be able to overpass

King Louis XIV. The embodiment of the glory of France.
France should bring back the monarchy, but they should have a Cosntitutional Monarchy system.
King Loius XIV was born in 1638 and though he was proclaimed King in 1643, after his father died, he was only 5 years old. Therefore, his mother Queen Anne and Cardinal Mazanin actually reigned in his place untill 1653, and Mazanin on his own until 1661. Therefore, Louis didn't actual reign until 1661 and he died in 1715 aged 77. Which equals 54 years, nothing like the 70 year reign of the 96 year old Queen Elizabeth II.
Although they did reign on his behalf until he was of age, he was the rightful heir, so he was the longest. The queen was just the longest frmale
@@devinfinley7813
In order to 'Reign', you need to possess and exercise Sovereign power. Louis did neither, he was only 5 years old and couldn't wipe his own bum, let alone run a country. That's why his mum, Queen Anne, did both for him.

Louis XIV is the greatest European king to have ever lived. He knew that absolutism was the only way to save the west from democratic ideals.
And the leftism and post modernism that was born out of it.
I am pretty sure no-one at the time knew what modern democracy was, equating it with mob rule. It was more against aristocratic arrogance.

He is within a margin of error that would exceed 72 years.
@@pimpernelsmith3798 By many scholars.
@@kennysmith4687 No specifics eh? Typical. The longest documented reign of any monarch is that of Phiops II (also known as Pepi II or Neferkare) a Sixth-Dynasty pharaoh of ancient Egypt. His reign began c. 2281 BCE, when he was six years of age, and is believed to have lasted c. 94 years. Guinness book of records.
@@pimpernelsmith3798 Guinness book of records? You think that is a credible source? 🤣🤣 And what _actual_ evidence do you have that proves your assertion without doubt? You even said yourself " *is believed* to have lasted c. 94 years".
Just think if King David was a righteous king before he died did Louis the Fourteenth think he could be as equally as righteous as King David was before his death? I think not! Now what do you think?

Feisty Louis ha Williams youngest. Cute 🥰 boy
The eclipse years
the sun king/q isnt dead
I admire the French culture. It even surpasses the English.
By far tbh
I really wanted the queen to beat this but I guess it wasn’t meant to be. Rest In Peace queen ❤❤
In reality she did, Louis XIV was only 4 yrs old when he was proclaimed King. Therefore, his mother Queen Anne ruled in his place.
Louis didnt reign untill 1661 and he died in 1715, so 54 years, not 72.
@@johnbrereton5229 I think, especially during the platinum jubilee, that we all wanted her to surpass him *removing any doubt* as to who would have the longest reign.
@@ggsilik Nah, *that will never happen* . The Sun King is still the longest whether you like it or not.
@@johnbrereton5229 …and *16 prime ministers* did all the heavy lifting throughout her reign. Your logic is so asinine.

Queen Anne ruled in his place because he was only a toddler, and later he had Jeane Baptist-Colbert, Marquis de Louvois, Huges de Lionne etc etc. No Monarch rules without expert advice.
However, it's interesting to note that as he became a man he took more control but that's only in the last 50 odd years of his life, not the 72 claimed.
The Count of Toulouse, not Duke.
T$OO MANY ADS!!!!!!! A big dislike
Im related to him

Later, Loui’s heart was eaten by a Scientist-which is pretty dang weird.
This was a fantastic documentary, but I felt it lacked small, but personal and important details, such as his gluttony and only bathing in orange oils.
Still a great doc, nonetheless
