Who went down in history under the nickname Sun King: Louis XIII or XIV?
Louis XIV. The sun in France was a symbol of royal power even before Louis XIV, but it was under this ruler that it became widespread. From a young age, the king participated in ballet performances, where he constantly appeared before the audience either in the form of the rising sun, then in the role of Apollo - the sun god.
The nickname was finally assigned to Louis after he appeared in public in the costume of the Roman emperor, holding a golden shield with the image of the sun in his hands. This meant that the luminary patronized the king and protected all of France.
