Re AR as Louis XIV: I haven't yet seen him in his 17th-century attire & wig, but I agree with you that Jeremy really did look the part as Charles II. Even though the only facial expressions he was allowed to show were sneers and smirks, he managed to give Charles a very kingly presence. And JN always looks like he belongs in period clothes, like he's been wearing them all his life.
Imagine a movie about the relationship between cousin kings Louis & Charles with AR & JN as those two monarchs. Although they didn't meet in person much, they were certainly rivals. I'd love to see that film!
