In Versailles Season 3, nothing can thwart King Louis XIV’s ambitions. He has settled the Affair of the Poisons and won the war against Holland. Now he aims to expand his empire and impose his power on all of Europe. But his dreams come with a cost. The people are tired of paying taxes and resistance is growing. Maintenon, his new favorite, grows in influence and power within the Court. Louis becomes more dogmatic. He refuses to tolerate any disagreement, whether from his people, the Protestants or the Pope himself. And yet, a threat looms in the background. This shadow hanging over Louis is in the form of a mysterious man hiding behind an iron mask.
