Who is Marie Antoinette and where did she live?

Answer 1

Marie Antoinette (1755-1793) was born Maria Antonia to her mother Maria Theresa, the Empress of Austria. She was the Empress' youngest daughter out of many children. At a young age, a marriage contract was signed. Archduchess Maria Antonia would marry the Dauphin Louis Auguste (later King Louis XVI). Her name was changed to Marie Antoinette, the French version of Maria Antonia. She became the queen of France, had four children and was killed with a guillotine (beheaded) during the French Revolution.

She lived in the late 1700s at a time when the French court at Versailles was becoming very frivolous. The monarchs and aristocrats were oblivious to the needs of the common people. Marie may have been especially disliked since she was from the rival country of Austria.

Folklore has it that when told that the people had no bread, she replied "Then let them eat cake." Whether true or not, it accurately expressed the schism between the rich and the poor in France, as many of the wealthy showed apathy, if not disdain, toward the conditions of the populace as a whole. Many, including Marie and Louis, lost their heads after the revolution.

Marie Antoinette was the wife of King Louis XVI of France, and therefore Queen of France. She was born Austrian and lived there until she was 14 years of age, then she was sent of to marry her French husband and lived in Versailles, France for the rest of her life. She lived from 1755 until 1793.

She was born an Archduchess of Austria and later became Queen of France and Navarre. At fourteen, she was married to Louis-Auguste, Dauphin of France, the future Louis XVI. She was the mother of Louis XVII, who died in the Temple Tower at the age of ten during the French Revolution. Marie Antoinette is perhaps best remembered for her legendary (and, some modern historians say, exaggerated) excesses and for her death: she was executed by guillotine at the height of the French Revolution in 1793 for the crime of treason.
