I'm French, so the fact that Louis XIV isn't a medieval king should be common knowledge. And the Middle Ages are taught in the CM1 (9-10 years old children) and 5e (13-14 years old) in history classes; and it's mentioned in French, art history, … thorough school.

If you are in France that's an appropriate reaction but outside of it that would be downright silly to expect people to know.
