Poor soul I make King of France (5)

I believe the answer is:

louis

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'king of france' is the definition.
'louis' can be an answer for 'king' (I've seen this before). I am not certain of the 'of france' bit.

'poor soul i' is the wordplay.
'poor' indicates an anagram.
'soul'+'i'='souli'
'souli' anagrammed gives 'LOUIS'.

'make' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for louis that I've seen before include "French boy's name" , "- - Quatorze" , "Name of many French kings" , "old coin" , "Name of eighteen undisputed kings of France" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
