Description:Louis XIV was born rather suddenly in 1638. His parents, Louis XIII and Anne of Austria, were married for twenty-two years without having a baby.1 Because of the long delay, the infant was called Louis Dieu-Donne, or Louis the God-Given. He was afterwards known as Louis le Roi Soleil, or Louis the Show-Off. Extremely dull as a child, he gradually de- veloped this characteristic into a system. In later life he knew a good deal about a wide range of subjects but nothing definite about any one subject. Some scholars explain Louis's dullness by his royal position, kings being more or less out of touch, but this would hardly account for the symptoms. Others say he was deliberately kept in a state of ignorance by his teachers when he was a boy. No professors, however, could have turned out so perfect a job unless the pupil showed a natural aptitude of no mean order. They would have slipped up somewhere.2 Sometimes Louis would show a brief glimmer of intelligence. Then everything would return to normal again.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
