A magnificent court, the expansion of influence in Europe, and the establishment of overseas colonies characterized the longest reign of Louis XIV, known as the Great and the Sun King in history of France from 1643; he waged three major wars and in 1685 revoked the edict of Nantes and thus caused thousands of Huguenots to leave.
Anne of Austria served as regent from 1643 to 1651 for Louis XIV, her son.
