Just recently, she beat her great-great grandmother, Queen Victoria, for longest reigning monarch in Britain.

Louis XIV of France was even longer: 72 years!

But Louis didn't attain his majority until he was about 18. I think he started reigning when he was about 5. I believe he succeeded his GRANDFATHER. Then, I believe, he was succeeded by his great-grandson

Yes. Only his first son survived youth. He died before his father as did two of his grandsons. The third was king of Spain, so it couldn't be him. Therefore, his great-grandson succeeded him.

As a monarch with "majority" powers, Elizabeth has probably reigned longer than Louis

Even though the actual powers are much less with Elizabeth than they were with Louis.

Besides, people used not to live so long, even kings and queens.

Except people don't always get to live long. Still, some managed to live long in the past.

Eleanor of Aquitaine, wife of Henry II of England, lived to be 80. She died in 1204.
