Yeah Louis XIV (14th) was revered as being one of the best absolute monarchs in Europe.

Louis XV (15th) probably did something but it wasn't important.

Louis XVI (16th) was the last Bourbon monarch before Napoleon. While the people of France were starving, he and Marie Antoinette were kicking it luxuriously in their palace, Versailles. Also, he blew off like all of France's money while they were already in debt to help the Americans in the Revolutionary War. One thing lead to another and a prison is raided, a bunch of angry women chase the monarchs out of Versailles, and almost everyone else gets the guillotine. Then Napoleon takes the throne and the cycle basically loops.

We just learned about this in AP Euro and I have a mid-term coming up next week.
