Thoughts on Louis the Great?

Thoughts on Louis the Great?

He did a lot for France.
He was not perfect, but definitely a good king.

Dumb leftist will hate him (they think that being a good republican is about erasing french history before the revolution).

Best Louis is Saint Louis IX

could have done more

The last few years of his reign were the beginning of the end for France, especially the War of the Spanish Succession, after which Great Britain progressively became the leading power in Europe.

poor policies, great PR

But he set France up for the revolution in the first place though. Absolutist monarchy was a mistake

why are there so many french kangs named louis?

Because the first kang of the franks was Clovis which through some linguistics fuckery became Louis.

I don't "get" why he's a big deal he looks so goofy.

bullied cute netherlands which is NOT okay

>Clovis
>Lovis
>Louis

I didn't know that btw

>the absolute state of XVII century France

eh

Same reason many German kings were named Frederick

i like how outrageous he looks

Louis XI > Louis VII > Louis IX > (power gap) > Louis XIII > Louis XII > Louis XIV > Louis XVI > (power gap) > Louis XV

Never give me a (You) again unless you're actually impressed by my sense of humour or at least giving a heartfelt reply

>Thoughts on Louis the Great?

I get the feeling that he didn't ride into battle alongside his men, as a real king did back then.

Good king, a shame he had such bad son and grandson.

A fucking inbred, who couldn't win a war with fucking england, when they suck down tea all day.

his son and grandson were never kings though

well his grandson became king of spain

His son was a great guy though

>A fucking inbred
What ?
>who couldn't win a war with fucking england
What ?!

He gave our king 12 horses as a present. Thank you, France.

Sorry was it louis XVI? I really dont know.

No it's Louis XIV.
Louis XVI has nothing Great.

Neither Louis XIV nor Louis XVI were inbred though

Yeah no, it started with the end of 7 year war and it was under Louis XV, 48 later. Before that France was alone the roc in Europe.
Shit like that was every day for France, pic related

The last ten years were indeed terrible and marked the end of French hegemony, but France remained the leading power in Europe..

/ourking/

It's Louis XIV, father of Louis XV and grandfather of Louis XVI, who did rule France.

>>Louis XV
>Louis XIV's son
>>Louis XVI
>Louis XIV's grandson
Are you mentally disabled ? Do you know your own history ?

>father of Louis XV and grandfather of Louis XVI
