Wow! Giant side burns and armour may be a bit of a dangerous combination. Having had some of my beard whiskers caught in the rolled edge of my bevor, it certainly made my eyes water :D

Here is Kurfürst Friedrich August I. von Sachsen (August der Starke).

Hi,
concerning the French sovereigns, I've found those three pictures:
Louis XV 1717-1774
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fichier:Lodewijk_XV-Harnas.jpg
and
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fichier:Louis15-1.jpg (1748)
There are many paintings showing him in full plate.

and Louis XVII who never ruled (1785-1795)

obviously that's a toy armour but that's an armour anyway ;)
