Louis XIV, also known as the Sun King, inherited the thrown in 1643. After doing so, France was again filled with chaos. The Fronde occurred, which is an uprising where nobles, merchants, peasants and the urban poor rebelled each group for their own reasoning. Louis believed in divine right, which means their rights basically come from God. He expanded the bureacracy, and the French army became strongest in Europe under his rule. He also built Versailies, which were huge royal palaces.
