King Louis XV
King Louis XV was the King of France from 1715 until his death in 1774. He ascended to the throne at the age of five after the death of his great-grandfather, King Louis XIV. His reign is often characterized by a mix of cultural flourishing and political challenges, including wars and financial difficulties.
Louis XV was known for his lavish lifestyle and patronage of the arts, which contributed to the development of the Rococo style. However, his rule also faced criticism for corruption and the growing discontent among the French populace, setting the stage for the eventual French Revolution.
