The Final Days of Louis XIV

Directed by Philipp Dettmer
S1 • E3    Feb 13, 2026    15m
For 72 years, Louis XIV ruled as the most powerful king in Europe. He centralized power, reshaped the map of Europe, and turned Versailles into a glittering machine of spectacle and control. But no king can rule his own body. Behind closed doors, he lived at the mercy of his doctors, enduring the brutal limits of 17th century medicine. This is the tragic life of the Sun King.
