Ex-soldiers working on construction at the palace feel aggrieved at their treatment and down tools. On advice from gardener and confidant Jacques, who suggests a war hero act as intermediary, Louis is nonetheless jealously intransigent when Philippe offers his services. The king's bullying also extends to his refusal to allow ex-mistress Louise de la Valliere to leave for a convent whilst Athenais conducts her own agenda and Cassel, his home burned to the ground, is forced to move into the palace from where he continues to scheme. Louis is ultimately forced to bring Philippe in for a public relations exercise as he breaks the strike, after which Philippe makes his own plans to leave Versailles. false 2017-10-04 11:48:41 8 2015 tt4253776 52 Biography Drama History https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/xxAYWYqfzNuyVjdCGADXE3lRxuC.jpg George Blagden Louis XIV Actor https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/1Y5EpnrIAWWagMIootT8c2ZFoGO.jpg Stuart Bowman Alexandre Bontemps Actor https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/rGK6KpdVgmsA26ZrmBBTLJ8l3av.jpg Maddison Jaizani Sophie Actor https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/aoxaYOGbdoTQhhPOHtsV4IbTN9I.jpg Noémie Schmidt Henriette Actor https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/fZFCTnOZ0PcNJR2wvkIgosie3mc.jpg Anna Brewster Montespan Actor https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/i0pZqNpMak4KXi7Dz326e7VscsN.jpg Lizzie Brocheré Claudine Actor https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/whUxOD9HPpoDau9fjtvML5FUw3D.jpg Steve Cumyn Colbert Actor https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/8mAD5I3ltnLhOrMUyjSMv6mydt9.jpg Gilly Gilchrist Jacques Actor Joe Sheridan Louvois Actor https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/q8NbSOBGuduFZDJaPlQX108draa.jpg Amira Casar Béatrice Actor https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/50fLRb6xKqIrtTC5fBWTuxh1j82.jpg Alexis Michalik Rohan Actor https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/flLqWCFbomoeW9lluYv9D58k1ro.jpg Pip Torrens Cassel Actor https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/oufazs9fACQgocDos8vEY5IW1Wr.jpg Anatole Taubman Montcourt Actor https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/A7B7POXpFyNg7C36fGxVc4EiR2W.jpg Evan Williams Chevalier Actor https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/sC9240bs5x9imhibpMSukeoWsEg.jpg Alexander Vlahos Monsieur Philippe d'Orléans Actor https://www.thetvdb.com/banners/actors/430394.jpg Tygh Runyan Fabien Marchal Actor https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/vHlo0lwXAHGzCBEL6mrum39exdO.jpg Elisa Lasowski Marie-Thérèse Actor https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/63EcPY0nWYtlJ3NB9srcKTtSzUn.jpg Sarah Winter Louise de La Vallière Actor https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/dUwTZ85P7XRHQfkrdNFqOVQBJcc.jpg Georgina Leeming Companion Actor 6 1 2015-11-30
