He successfully placed a French prince on the Spanish throne. His foreign, military and domestic expenditure bankrupted the State and may have contributed to the Revolution, though this is questionable given that his successors had a hundred years between his death and the Revolution to initiate preventative reforms. Louis also strengthened the Crown's authority over the traditional feudal elites.
