Trailer
The first part follows the rise of Nicolas Fouquet, Superintendent of Finances under Louis XIV. Brilliant, charismatic, and remarkably effective, Fouquet becomes the most powerful man in the kingdom after Cardinal Mazarin. But his wealth, influence, and growing prestige worry the young king, who is determined to rule on his own. While Fouquet builds Vaux‑le‑Vicomte and strengthens his network of allies, Colbert, discreet yet relentless, works behind the scenes to convince Louis XIV that Fouquet is a threat. This episode explores the escalating tensions, the intrigues of the royal court, and the rivalry that forms around control of the kingdom’s finances.
