About This Lesson
This focuses on his early life, his nickname sun king, the Fronde, his "I am the State" mentality, his wars, how he treated nobles, and Versailles. Use parts 2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZb4GlVH9ms) and 3 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ll4hfQb-0Jw) from Le Roi Danse.
And then for Versailles, I show Chapter 11 of The Taking of Power, a film that depicts life in Versailles, and this scene is where dinner is being served to Louis XIV as all the Nobles watch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZESdIUCWzE
