17th century Beautifull manuscript signed LOUIS - King Sun of France

Louis XIV (5 September 1638 – 1 September 1715) ruled as King of France and of Navarre. He ascended to the throne a few months before his fifth birthday, but did not assume actual personal control of the government until the death of his prime minister (Premier ministre), the Italian Jules Cardinal Mazarin, in 1661. Louis remained on the throne till his death just before his seventy-seventh birthday in 1715. He reigned for seventy-two years, three months, and eighteen days, the longest documented for any European monarch to date.

He was known as Louis the Great (in French Louis le Grand or, alternatively, le Grand Monarque, "the Great Monarch"), because, following his initial success in the Franco-Dutch War and the Treaty of Nijmegen, the Parlement de Paris decreed that all public inscriptions and statues of the king should carry that epithet attached to his name.

Louis XIV is also popularly known as the Sun King (French: le Roi Soleil) because of the idea that, just as the planets revolve around the Sun, so too should France and the court revolve around him.
