Question

Which French kind is sometimes called the sun king bc he believed that his country should revolve around him much as the planets revolve around the sun?

Answer 1

Louis XIV

Futher details:

Louis XIV is an important historical figure. He was known as the Sun King because all activity in France basically revolved around him. So much so was that the case, that members of the nobility competed with each other for the right to help the king get dressed in the morning.

Getting all political activity to revolve around him was one of Louis XIV's great accomplishments. To keep the ranking nobles from being a threat to his power, he lured them to come live at the glorious Versailles palace with him where he could keep them under his influence and away from their lands in the provinces. They were lavishly entertained, but lost the real power they would have had as lords governing in their provincial lands. In this way, Louis increase his own absolute authority as king over the whole of the country.
