King of France (born 1638) from 1643 until his death in 1715, known as the ‘Sun King’ for the glittering splendor of his court at Versailles and the unparalleled glory of France during his 72-year reign. LS in French, signed “Louis,” one page, 19 x 13.75, March 15, 1665. Letter to Pope Alexander VII whom he asks to resume beatification proceedings for Bishop Juvenalz “wherewith We continue in the example of King Henry the Great [Henry IV], of Immortal memory, our Grandfather who during his life initiated procedures for the beatification of this virtuous person.” In very good to fine condition, with intersecting folds and some scattered light toning. Juan Juvenal Ancina, Bishop of Saluzzo, was associated with saints Robert Bellarmine, and Francis de Sales. He collaborated with St. Phillip Neri in his efforts to convert prostitutes and reform the clergy of Rome. In 1604, a monk poisoned Juvenal for having discovered his affair with a nun. Alexander VII didn’t accede to Louis’ request, perhaps because Henry IV was unpopular with popes and was almost excommunicated. Juvenal wasn’t beatified until 1869.
