Season 2 of Versailles focuses on increasing tensions at court as the nobles have numerous feuds against each other as well as with the king. Meanwhile, new religious fervor, headed by the queen (Queen Maria Theresa of Spain). External threats are also present, with William of Orange becoming more powerful in Holland and threatening Louis XIV's hold on power.
