King Louis XV’s rule was rife with indecisiveness and war efforts that nearly bankrupted the nation. His rule also considerably weakened the royal family’s authority, setting up the stage for the French Revolution later on after his rule. 

Louis XV is also historically known for his good looks and charm, having mistresses—such as Madame Du Barry and Madame De Pompadour—and apparently consummated his marriage with his wife seven times on their wedding night!
