#KingLouisXIV chose not to appoint a new first minister when, on #ThisDayInHistory in 1661, #CardinalMazarin died. The steady accretion of power since #LouisXIII & #CardinalRichelieu made the "Sun King" an #absolutist ruler, but his government was still much weaker than is ours.

The photo features the large, historical triumphal arch Porte Saint-Denis, located at boulevard Saint-Denis in 75010 Paris, France and photographed from rue de Beauregard in 75002 Paris, France. The 24.65 m (80.9 ft) high and 25 m (82 ft) wide triumphal arch is surrounded by tall residential buildings, giving it a prominent position in the urban Parisian landscape. There are several people walking around the area, with some of them carrying tote bags or backpacks. A couple of traffic lights can be seen in the vicinity. In addition to the pedestrians, there is a bicycle parked near the triumphal arch, and a motorcycle is also visible in the scene. King of France Louis XIV (also known as Louis the Great or the Sun King) commanded architect François Blondel and the sculptor Michel Anguier to build him a monumental archway that would honor the capture of Franche-Comté in 1668 and the victories on the Meuse and Rhine during the Franco-Dutch War. Work began in 1672 and was paid for by the city of Paris. The Porte Saint-Denis was the first of four triumphal arches to be built in Paris. The three others are the Porte Saint-Martin (1674), the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel (1806–1808), and the Arc de Triomphe (1836). The Porte Saint-Denis is a triumphal arch inspired by the Arch of Titus in Rome. The main arch is flanked by obelisks applied to the wall face bearing sculptural groups of trophies of arms. Above the main arch, the southern face carries a sculptural group by Michel Anguier of "The Passage of the Rhine" in a sunk panel, while the north face carries allegorical figures of the Rhine and the Netherlands. The entablature bears the gilded bronze inscription LUDOVICO MAGNO, "To Louis the Great".

French monarch King Louis XIV, aka The Sun King, was BOTD in 1638. Though vigorously heterosexual, his court was synonymous with extravagance, sexual decadence and an astonishing number of homosexuals. #kinglouisxiv #thesunking #bornonthisday
