    Louis XIV was born in 1638 and became King of France in 1643 after the death of his father Louis XIII. He weakened the power of the nobles and strengthened the central government. Louis expanded French territory through wars in the 1660s and 1670s, making France the strongest power in Europe but also increasing its debt. He supported the arts during his reign but hurt France politically and economically by revoking the Edict of Nantes in 1685, which had granted rights to Protestants. Louis fought in the War of the Spanish Succession in an attempt to increase French power but died in 1715 regretting his actions.
