Thank YOU for watching !!!
Speaking of Anne of Austria about her relatives my personal favorite is Balthasar Carlos
An excellent video with some in-depth information especially as to the younger years of Louis XIV; I am fascinated by anything Louis XIV so thanks for putting this video together.
So glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching.
HOW?! How have I not yet seen this mini-series on my FAVORITE French monarch on one of my all time favorite history channels?????
Speaking to myself: You're slipping!!!!!
🤣🤣
Great video! I'm going to binge them all right now over my morning coffee!! Thank you for putting so much time and effort into making such wonderful videos!!!
I really hope you liked the whole series now... as you know it was early on in my youtube journey, if I look at those videos now, I am not so pleased with that content tbh...
That was very good ... had no idea there was a Parliament of Paris with such powers as that under Louis XIII
Glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching !
Another well done work! I learned so many things about Louis’s childhood that I did not know. Thank you very much such a job well done
Thank you very much Mike, I'm glad you enjoyed this first part of my series on Louis XIV. I'll do a video on the Fronde in more detail at a later time. Hope you'll enjoy the rest of my series as well.
Me too.
Long live France
Thank you Latifa !
@@TheKingsofFrance oh btw my real name is Muhammad adil Salam
you forgot that Louis XIII died the same day he became King 33 years earlier
I did not realize the 30 Years War was at its end in Louis' youth. Was Conde a Protestant or am I confusing this with the Saint Bartholomew's Massacre? Mazarin must have been an incredible teacher. Anne also seems to have been a very wise mother and regent as well. Very early on, young Louis realized that to have power, the nobles had to depend on him, not he on them. The ballet really demonstrated this. I really enjoyed this! Louis is such an interesting personage. Thank you!
Hi Barbara, my apologies for my late reply to your comment. I think you're thinking of Louis I De Bourbon Condé, while I'm talking about Louis II De Bourbon Condé in this video, not the same person... Anne was indeed a good regent. She obviously lacked the experience ruling a country, so she had Mazarin at her right side to assist and advise her. The ballet was a celebration of the victory over the frondeurs, and Louis' first mention of being the Sun King. But you are right, he did realise he was better off having the nobles depending on him, which lead to the later creation of Versailles and the strict etiquette regime within its walls. More on that will follow at a later time !
There's a lot of things I didn't know. Your videos are so informative so many things. Your videos are great I love this series
@@TheKingsofFrance Mazarini should have married off one of the Mazarinettes to Henry Jules Conde's son
@@TheKingsofFrance I know Richelieu was succeeded by Mazarin but ho succeeded Mazarin and when did Andre Herculle de Fleury came to power anyway
@@plamenivanov92 I'll explain in my videos about the three cardinals, they will air in March.
I know your channel is fairly new and it is really good. Do you have a video planned for Saint Louis? (King Louis IX of France) I want to know more about him and why he is remembered as such an awesome king. Merci beaucoup.
Thank you very much for your encouraging comment, I'm glad people are enjoying my channel. Louis IX will definitely be on the program sooner or later... But for now I'm still sticking to the Bourbon Dynasty and all those surrounding it, as it is my major area of expertise and for other content I have to study more. But it will definitely follow. Thank you so much for watching !
thanks, you make amazing videos.
Thank you so very much for your kind words !
Thanks to History Roadshow I found you and I’m so glad! I love the kings of France (always been passionate about them since my mum took me to Versailles when I was 6 😊).
Glad you found my channel, and I'm glad I found yours !
Off topic: I'm going to research at what point we went from viewing that awesome, long wavy hair sported on men as upper class high-quality to head-bangers and hippies to be looked down on. So ironic, our world Civil history. Fascinating to me. Why and precisely when the change in attitude about the length of men's hair?.
If you find an answer, let me know. You peaked my curiosity...
@@TheKingsofFrance absolutely. Will share. 😀
@@verablexitasap858 Thanks !!!
@@TheKingsofFrance So far I discovered that at some points around the 17th and 18th century long hair on aristocratic men differentiated them from the short and shaven-haired surfs and slaves, except for those who were of the church. Before that it also symbolized strength and being a warrior. There's a lot more of course I'm just finding out more. Some were concerned though that it would make men fight like women lol
@@verablexitasap858 that’s interesting ! I had no idea !
So interesting.. ty
Thank you for watching !
SEPTEMBER 5 TH BABY HERE !!!!
Thank you for watching and commenting !!!
I know this was a different time back then and this was a monarchy. But having someone lead a country at four?! Ok, the young king was known for being intelligent for his age. But imagine how that would be in modern times nowadays-would y’all think a grown person would allow a preschool age kid to have authority over them and how they should live? Back then in 1600s Europe, or probably in countries in Asia back then-yes. Nowadays-nope.
Thank you so much for watching and sharing your thoughts Alyssa !
Interesting information regarding his ascent to being king. Not as fluid as I had thought. Thank you, Kind Regards, Cherie

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and commenting. I really appreciate it !
He and Napoleon were the most powerful rulers France ever had.
I heard France’s absolute monarchy started during the reign of Louis XIII and reached its peak during Louis XIV. What was the monarchy prior to this because I don’t know any types of monarchy besides absolute monarchy and constituional monarchy.
There are several. You can find more information on this wikipedia page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarchy
Before Richelieu, feodality was still very powerfull. Richelieu destroyed all the great lords and reinforce the direct power of the king wich culminated under Louis XIV.
Well, history has provided as many kinds of monarchy as political situation and actual balance of powers on the ground, and human creativity can allow. Monarchy is a legal and constitutional order where one single person (from the Greek word monos=one) has the final say in all three social powers, executive (government), legislative (lawmaking) and judicial (tribunal). That’s pretty much the end of the definition.
It doesn’t say anything about how the monarch should be called or calls themselves (king/queen, emperor/empress, dictator, tyrant, Prince, Father/Mother of the Nation/People, Supreme Wizard, Great Smurf, you name it^^).
More importantly, it doesn’t say anything about the origins of their power, their legitimacy. It can be hereditary, elected, it can be the best fighter, and it can include a religious or mystical layer (God(s)-given) or not.
Even more importantly, although the monarch must hold the three powers for the regime to qualify as a real monarchy, it doesn’t say anything about how, and how much, these powers can be curbed. That’s where the concept of absolutism/non absolutism comes in. An absolute monarchy is one where no other institution can influence them, no parliament, no council, no court. Many monarchies allow a Parliament to draft laws for the monarch to validate, or the other way around, for instance. A monarch can rely on a council to do the same. And so on. One can be a monarch for life, or just over a fixed period of time.
At the end of the day, you can mix these criteria to enable a wide range of monarchic options. Most of the time, the political situation in the country, as well as traditions and culture, lead to this or that form.
To conclude, it’s interesting to highlight that most current European monarchies, usually called constitutional monarchies, are far from being real monarchies, as the monarch doesn’t hold much power. It’s reduced to formally confirm the head of government, and sometimes laws, and some have a right to pardon convicts. But it doesn’t go much further. These regimes are very much democracies, with a hereditary-selected person to formally represent the country as Head of State.
I don't think Louis XIII was gay. No proof
I'll admit that it's not 100 % sure if he was or if he was not. Some historians say he was, some say he was not. A know fact however is that the first wedding night between Louis XIII and Anne of Austria was a disaster. Louis felt humiliated and wouldn't touch his wife after, which led to the fact of the delay when it came to the birth of the heir. I'll talk more about this when I make my videos on both Anne of Austria and Louis XIII.
@@CountessKitten Louis XIII was sometimes cold and irritated. He was maltreated by his mother, Marie de Medici and traumatized by the death of his father, Henri IV. He didnt have many positive relationships with both males or females.
Interesting how France had male primogeniture to inherit the crown, but often had women as regents.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
from the Capetians, 6 for very short periods (Blanche de Castille, Isabeau de Bavière, Anne de Beaujeu, Catherine de Médicis, Marie de Médicis et Anne d'Autriche) in 800 years covering 33 reigns. Not so many. But as you pointed out : the reason is because only males could inherit the crown, therefore their mothers had to rule when their sons were too young.
