The King's Leg Erupted With Such Gangrene That Servants Fainted From The Stench

In the final months of his reign, King Louis XIV of France—the legendary Sun King who ruled for 72 years—suffered one of history's most horrifying royal deaths. A small wound on his leg transformed into catastrophic gangrene that consumed his flesh, releasing a stench so overpowering that servants collapsed when his bandages were removed. As the infection spread from ankle to thigh, turning tissue black and exposing bone, the most powerful monarch in Europe became a prisoner in his own decaying body. Physicians applied boiling oils and cut away dead flesh, but nothing could stop the rot. The smell permeated the corridors of Versailles, and the king who had built the most magnificent palace in the world spent his final days in agony and isolation. This is the dark true story of how absolute power could not save a king from absolute suffering—a grim reminder that death comes for everyone, no matter how grand their throne.
