That's what I told you. But the differnce between the sort of rule Louis XIV demanded and what they do today in Saudi Arabia is miniscule ~ comes in the spelling of the words ~ pretty minor stuff.

The rule of Louis XIV was a gold age of France with flowering of culture, with the improvements in every aspect of life. France of his time made HUGE contributions to the Western culture and whole world.

Comparing the Saudi countless princes to the The Sun King is does not do them any favor.
