The return of the lavish 17th  century drama.

In a brand new third series, Louis XIV has solved the Poison Affair and won a war against Holland. Nothing seems to be able to counter his terrible ambition, to extend his Kingdom and impose his reign over Europe as a whole. But dreams have a price. Anger is growing amongst the people who don’t want to pay any more for the King’s extravagancies. Revolution is near, Versailles isn’t safe and new challenges await the King.

Madame De Maintenon, his new favourite, drags him into implementing absolutism, causing conflicts in the court. Bit by bit,  the King cannot tolerate any more dissensions, from his people, the Protestants or the Pope himself. And meanwhile Phillippe’s investigation into a mysterious prisoner, hidden behind a mask, is causing an unknown threat to the King.
