Louis XIV loved the Dauphin, as a father loves a son, but the Dauphin had a very submissive personality, no social graces, and no regal presentation at all.

Known as le roi soleil-the sun king-and vested with unprecedented power and privilege, for fifty years Louis epitomized the glory that was France.
It is in the struggle of the lofty sun king, who at least half-believed in his quasi divinity, to reconcile his extravagant persona with the shortcomings, flaws, miscalculations, and failures of an ordinary mortal that the fascination of this new, intricate, and controversial illustrated biography lies.
Louis XIV is widely regarded as the leading proponent and example of absolute monarchy based on divine right of kings and Levi says that it was all based on a lie that Louis XIV was aware of.
