LOUIS XIV. DOCUMENT SIGNED. Lyonne, 29 November 1710. Folio (19" x 
11-1/2") written in a neat secretarial hand on vellum, a commission 
issued and SIGNED by the Sun King making the Marquis de Lyonne a colonel 
of the infantry. Housed in a cloth chemise and a custom full burgundy 
morocco leather slipcase, elaborately gilt-decorated on the covers and 
spine and lettered on the spine which has three raised bands. Document 
folded and a tad faded with some soiling, a small pinhole at one of the 
folds not affecting any letters and a long tear at the bottom right 
blank margin. A small old catalog description tipped to the left margin. 
Very Good condition, especially considering its age, in a close to Fine 
slipcase with a very short split at the outer top rear corner.

Louis XIV (5 September 1638 - 1 September 1715), known as Louis the 
Great (Louis le Grand) or the Sun King (Roi Soleil), was a monarch of 
the House of Bourbon who reigned as King of France from 1643 until his 
death in 1715. Starting on 14 May 1643 when Louis was 4 years old, his 
reign of 72 years and 110 days is the longest recorded of any monarch of 
a sovereign country in European history. (#018979)        $1,500.00
