* Louis XIV of France 
* 17th century original reading 

A back page report from "Paris" about an injury sustained by Louis XIV (the Sun King) says: "On Thursday last the King Hunting in Fontainebleau Forest, had a very ill fall; and it was thought at first he had broke his Arm, but it was only put out at the Elbow, which was presently Set again..." and word that the Dauphin was notified of the accident.

Note: King Louis XIV's reign was the longest in European history.
