Marie Antoinette was, after a trial, decapitated by the Revolutionists, together with her husband Louis XVI of France in 1793.She was guillotined.
King Louis XVI and his wife Queen Marie Antoinette were king and queen of France from 1774 until 1793. They were eventually executed during the most violent phase of the revolution: the terror.
No, she did not. She was selfish and vain and the only person she cared fo was herself. She didn't even care for her children or husband.
Marie Antoinette was born in 1755 and was the daughter of the Empress Maria Theresa. Marie Antoinette married King Louis XVI of France. In 1793, she and her husband were beheaded after the fall of the Bastille.
She was Austrian, a country that France had been in war with for years. The French did not want a foreigner on the throne, especially not an Austrian. Also, even before she came to France, the revolution was already smouldering because of the financial disasters of Louis XIV and Louis XV which they caused to the national treasury. France was already almost bankrupt when Marie Antoinette stepped in the picture, and because the French needed someone to blame it all on, and she was Austrian, she was the perfect victim. The people tried to make all of France believe that she had no concern for her people, spending money on wigs and dresses and throwing wild parties while the population was starving and desperate. The people did believe it, although she was completely innocent and killed her and her husband, destroying the whole French monarchy and the French credibility all around the world for as far as the French had that anyway.

The queen with a fair face in "A Tale of Two Cities" is Marie Antoinette, the Queen of France during the French Revolution. She is portrayed as a symbol of luxury and decadence in contrast to the suffering of the French people.

France does not have a queen. Marie Antoinette was the last queen of France and that was in 1792. France is not a monarchy and therefore does not have a King and Queen. France is a republic and has a president, Nicolas Sarcozy. France used to be a monarchy, but during the French Revolution the French killed their last King and Queen (Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette) because at that time France was bankrupt and the people were starving. They blamed it all on their King and Queen, which was not fair. Though, the revolutionists wanted France to become a republic so the bourgeoisie could reign alongside their president. In the monarchy France used to be, this was not the case, and the King had the only right to reign the way he saw fit (an absolutist monarchy). France is not a monarchy and therefore does not have a King and Queen. France is a republic and has a president,
At that time the country of France was broke and the ordinary people resented the wealth of the royal family as they themselves were poor and hungry. The royal family lived an extravagant lifestyle, feasting, hunting etc. Marie Antoinette was especially unpopular with the French people as she herself had a reputation of extravagance and she spent huge sums of money on expensive clothes, jewellery and food. She was also from Austria, France's traditional enemy.
