Myself

   Hello, I am Louis XIV of France. I was the king of France and Navarre from 1610 to 1643. My mother is Marie de Medici, she was the first Bourbon queen of France, and my father is Henry IV of France. I am also married to my lovely wife Anne, even though we have not seen each other in nine years. We married when I was fourteen years old. When participating in the Thirty Years' war, I was against the House of Habsburg. I am very lucky to have a life like this. My mother is very powerful, she helped me take the throne away from my father, which was given to me when I was older. Many people such as my first minister, Cardinal Richelieu helped me during my reign. Cardinal Richelieu acted as a regent for me, because I was too young to rule at the age of nine. He destroyed the disastrous plans of the nobles and sent out royal officials called intendants to carry out the orders of the central government. He also set out spies to spy on nobility, the spies would then destroy any evil plan the nobles thought of. By the age of fourteen, I started ruling the government in my own hands. He helped me rule France, I look up to him and he is a very intelligent, trustworthy man. Cardinal Richelieu helped me become an absolute ruler, he taught me about ruling, what I should do to improve and the characteristics of becoming a great ruler. I am a very religious man, and I also believe that my army is very strong. I will lead them into battle if any danger comes to us, and we will conquer any country that tries to challenge us.
