We have seen English kings on television with shows such as Showtime's Tudors and BBC America's The Last Kingdom, as well a a Scottish queen with a French king on The CW's Reign, but how about a THE French King? Now is your chance with Ovation's Versailles. Here is the story:
Set against a backdrop of power, love, betrayal and war, Versailles is a
unique take on a defining period of French history. The year is 1667
and King Louis XIV, portrayed by George Blagden (Vikings),
is a 28-year-old monarch on the cusp of greatness. A ruthless leader,
he will stop at nothing to achieve his vision of creating the most
beautiful palace in Europe and seizing absolute control of France and
his enemies.
You may remember George Blagden in the role of Athelstan on Vikings,
where he played a humble and beloved English monk among Ragnar's viking
band. And now he is the king of France. What's next?
Intrigued? This trailer will further intrigue you with its beautiful settings and dramatic encounters. And who can turn away from a well-told royal tale?
