  1. I disagree. I prefer the "Rise and Fall of Versailles" trilogy.

  2. I understand you can't cover everything, especially with a subject this vast, but you skipped (or incorrectly described) a few things: 1) If Louis hated his wife, he didn't show it that much. Despite his affairs, he was both attentive and polite to her, and when Montespan was rude to her, he threatened her to stay silent. Maintenon actually persuaded him to spend more time with his wife, who was deeply grateful. 2) No mention that Maintenon later became Louis's second wife? And that he was actually faithful to her? Or that she was a Protestant? 3) In regards to the above, once Louis started aging, Maintenon had near-total control over him, and Versailles became a lot less extravagant and more rigid. 4) Louis may not have liked Paris, but he still commissioned several hospitals, universities, and libraries there.
