Louis XIV (1638 – 1715) ruled as King of France. His reign lasted seventy-two years, three months, and eighteen days, the longest documented for any European monarch to date. For much of Louis's reign, France stood as the leading power in Europe, Louis XIV continued the work of his predecessors to create a centralized state governed from the capital in order to sweep away the remnants of feudalism which had persisted in parts of France. He succeeded in breaking the power and forced many leading nobles to live with him in his lavish Palace of Versailles.
