In episode 57 of Half True History, Dan Parrella tells Pedro Lima and Chris Crespo all about King Louis XIV, who went from child king to long time ruler by divine right! We talk about his expertise in branding and marketing, sowing division to secure power, and belittling others, and how he actually built his empire and then maintained it by use of a 500-room palace that seemingly had something missing.
