He was proud of his country, and tried to encourage French [[artist]]s to stay in France instead of going off to [[Italy]]. He did this by giving them work in the [[Louvre]]. Although he was married, many people thought that he would never produce an [[heir]]. Then, after 23 years of marriage, his wife Anne gave birth to a baby [[boy]]. He was to become King [[Louis XIV of France]]. He died of [[Crohn's disease]] in 1643 and was later buried at the [[Royal Basilica of Saint Denis]], [[France]]. His oldest son would succeed him on the throne. ==Children== # [[King]] [[Louis XIV of France]] (5 September 1638–1 September 1715) married [[Marie Thérèse of Austria]]. # [[
