POD List?

I think he should be on the POD list because of how interesting he was. France would have been very different if he wasn't king. For example their flag would be different and there might not have even been a republic in France without him.

Ranked Correctly?

I think Louis is ranked correctly because he is not nearly as important as for example Jesus. Although he did have a big impact on France but not even close to the world. Many people do know about him and without him things might have been different in other places. Louis was truly an interesting person.
