The War of the Spanish Succession, fought at the beginning of the 18th century, was the last major war engaged in by French King Louis XIV, the legendary Sun King, and it was also the most famous of all military conflicts during his reign.

He was, after all, the one who had given himself the lofty nickname of “the Sun King".
