In 1667 Louis XIV launched the War of Devolution—the first in a series of military conflicts that characterized his aggressive approach to foreign policy—by invading the Spanish Netherlands, which he claimed as his wife’s inheritance.

It was not only decades of warfare that weakened both France and its monarch during the latter half of Louis XIV’s reign.
