Answer:
True
Explanation:
Louis XIV of France, was king of France and of Navarre from the 14 of May of 1643 until his death, with 76 years of age and 72 of reign. He was also co-Prince of Andorra (1643-1715) and rival count of Barcelona during the Catalan uprising (1643-1652) as Luis II.
Louis XIV was the eldest son and successor of Louis XIII and Anne of Austria (daughter of King Philip III of Spain). It increased the power and French influence in Europe, fighting in three great wars: the Franco-Dutch War, the War of the Nine Years and the War of Spanish Succession. The protection of the arts exercised by the sovereign Louis XIV was another facet of his political action. The new and magnificent Palace of Versailles, the work of Luis Le Vau, Charles Le Brun and André Le Nôtre, was the culmination of that policy. When moving the court there (1682), he moved away from the unhealthiness and intrigues of Paris, and could better control the nobility. Versailles was the perfect setting for the display of pomp and for the sacralization of the sovereign.
Louis XIV, one of the most prominent kings of French history, managed to create an absolutist and centralized regime, to the point that his reign is considered the prototype of absolute monarchy in Europe.
