He was born on September 5th, 1638 in the French lap of luxury otherwise known as the â€œChateau de Saint-Germain-en-Laye.â€ This extravagant palace of French excess is located about 12 miles west of Paris. His birth name, â€œLouis-Dieudonne,â€ is French for, literally, â€œGift for God.â€ This belief of divine right, initially inspired by his mother Queen Anne, would be a powerful theme throughout Louis XIVâ€™s life.

Although he didnâ€™t create absolutism in France, King Louis XIV seemed to embody the â€œdivine right of kingsâ€ better than anyone had before him. Louis XIV directly correlated his own private good with that of the public good. There was really no concept of private property under Louis. The French King viewed all of France as his personal estate, with all who lived and toiled in his domain doing so only under his express permission; even so, not everyone in France had the same sentiment.
The ones who most notably resisted the notion of the Kingâ€™s absolutism were the French nobles and aristocrats that Louis depended upon to raise armies and defend the country. Despite his theory of absolutism, this dependence on French nobility to bear arms, gave them increasing autonomy and independence from the King. It was this independence that would one day come to a head, and send Louis, the so-called â€œSun Kingâ€ of divine inheritance, into a full-blown conflict with his own subjects - and the world at large.
