What European monarch reportedly owned 413 beds?
Henry VIII
Elizabeth II
Louis XIV
Alexander the Great
With a reign totaling 72 years, King Louis XIV held the throne longer than any monarch in the history of France — or the world, for that matter. Known as the Sun King, Louis XIV embraced opulence to a historic degree throughout his reign (from 1643 to 1715). Case in point: His majesty reportedly owned no fewer than 413 beds, which were considered status symbols at the time. Few people had the wealth, let alone space, to afford and display such a vast collection of luxurious furniture, but the French monarch was a uniquely ostentatious individual.
