    The twenty five years 1715-1740 were the best years of the eighteenth century for the French people, with peace, stability and prosperity. This was thanks to Philippe d'Orléans and his successor the Cardinal de Fleury. The Enlightenment came to fruition, while the Rococo style followed the Baroque, Watteau in many ways sums up the Regency era. Thank you for another enjoyable video.

      Agree, Fleury was a steady hand too and did well overcoming challenges like the Jansensist uprising. I like to say that while there were upheavals and misery in 18 century France, there was a lot that went right also, making France a powerhouse in science, literature, art, trade. And, Watteaus painting, magnificent.

      I think I have read somewhere that Philippe bought an expensive diamond just after he came to regency which Louis XIV had refused earlier. I think the diamond was placed on Louis XV 's crown. Yes Louis XV didn't rule himself and let his mistresses and prime ministers take control of the Kingdom which led to downfall. But Louis XIV on the other hand did not have prime ministers at all.

It Was Very Fortunate That He Took Over The Regency And Handed Over A France That Was Economically And Socially STABLE To His Younger Third Cousin Louis XV When He Came Of Age.

    Can anyone suggest great movies for me that focus on the Bourbon kings of France. I just watched Versailles on Netflix and Reign the CW series where I learnt that originally the family hailed from Navarre. I find the French monarchs /dynasties greatly under appreciated and would like to watch films or series based on even earlier dynasties like the Valois, Capetians(longest ruling dynasty), Carolingian & Merovingian (1st dynasty that arose from the fall of Rome).

    The contrast between the absolutist Louis IV and his nephew is stark, however for a good deal of Louis IV's life, their sexual morals were the same. I prefer Louis, who did not hide a work of atheism within a prayer book. Though sadly for me as a Reformed Christian, he did institute the Edict of Fontainebleau.
