Louis XIV (baptised as "Louis-Dieudonné") or as Louis the Great, spanned seventy-two years-the longest reign of any major European monarch. During that period of time he increased the power and influence of France in Europe, fighting three major wars-the Franco-Dutch War, the War of the League of Augsburg, and the War of the Spanish Succession-and two minor conflicts-the War of Devolution, and the War of the Reunions.
