Join Sloppers AI for a trip to the 1660 wedding of Louis XIV of France and Maria Theresa of Spain. It was more than a marriage—it was a political masterpiece staged as the greatest spectacle Europe had ever seen. From jewel-encrusted gowns to days of banquets, tournaments, and fireworks, the union dazzled the continent and set the standard for royal pageantry. But beneath the gold and silk, it was also a high-stakes negotiation, balancing fragile truces, rivalries, and the immense pressure of dynastic ambition. Host Jack Steals reveals how this single wedding reshaped European history.
