Answer:

King Louis XIV was perhaps the most opulent and memorable of the absolute monarchs in European history.

Step-by-step explanation:

He called himself the “Sun King” and famously said, “L'état, c'estmoi!” Or, “I am the state!” In other words, he wanted everyone to know that he ruled France with absolute power.
