Versailles: Season 3

Louis welcomes a defeated royal relative to the palace, but with unforeseen personal consequences.

Little can be taken at face value as Louis negotiates with Leopold over Spain, the Bastille governor has a sorry tale for Philippe and Sophie surprises Marchal.

A betrayal by one of the women closest to the king has unforeseen consequences, while a graphic revelation results in a fall from grace for another.

Seeking retribution, Louis lashes out at the Parisian rebels though Philippe urges a more reasoned response.

Can Louis' longed-for loving touch help the ailing queen? An engraved blade holds a clue to who Philippe has antagonised.

Louis hopes diplomacy will hide his duplicity as he works to undermine Leopold while winning over severe cardinal Leto.

Has Louis finally learnt the identity of the man in the iron mask? Cardinal Leto is still determined to use his knowledge against the king.

Suffering an identity crisis, Louis gets moody, unable to reveal the reason. Jeanne's protest pamphlets in Paris bring reprisals led by Marchal.

His resolve reinforced, Louis is dismissive of the pain his plans will cause others, be they Philippe or Protestants of all classes. Cardinal Leto is confident of making the king marry Isabella of Portugal.

Looking to the future, King Louis XIV seeks to reconnect with his people, and reconcile his family.
