 | | Louis XIV sent his troops into the Palatinate in 1688 after the ultimatum to the German princes to ratify the Truce of Ratisbon and confirm his possession of annexed territories, as well as to recognise his sister-in-law's claims, expired. | | | France was also obliged to cede colonies in the Americas to Great Britain, however, most of her continental possessions, lost in the devastating defeats in the Low Countries, were returned to her; she also received further territories to which she had a claim such as the principality of Orange. | | | Louis XIV, furthermore, agreed to end his support for the Old Pretender's claims to the throne of Great Britain. |

| | On one hand, this created religious unity within France and secured the friendship of the church, but, on the other hand, it aroused the implacable hatred of Protestant states and deprived France of some of its most industrious citizens. | | | There were a variety of complaints, such as the noble's suspicions of the growing power of the king and the Parisian mob's unrest because of famine, but the key unifying ground of all the discontents was hatred for Mazarin as a foreign intriguer. | | | The economic gains wrought by Colbert and the administrative improvements allowed Louis to pursue an activist foreign policy. |

| | Portrait of Louis XIV by RIGAUD, Hyacinthe |
| | Rigaud's consummate mastery of portraiture is particularly evident in the way he depicts the king's facial expression: his distanced unapproachability are not founded in Neoclassicist idealization, but in the candour of an ageing, impenetrable physiognomy. | | | Louis is presented in an elegantly angled pose, situated well above the standpoint of the spectator to whom he seems to turn his attention graciously, but without reducing the stability of his stance. | | | A monumental marble column on a high plinth is draped in such a way that it does not detract from the height of the figure. |
