Although when she first married Louis-Auguste, Dauphin of France (who became Louis XVI, king of France upon the death of Louis XV in May 1774) the French people liked her, their opinion of her soured over time and they generally came to dislike her, accusing "the Austrian" of being profligate and promiscuous, and of harboring sympathies for France's enemies, particularly Austria, since Marie Antoinette was, after all, Austrian.
Louis XVI was deposed and the monarchy abolished on 10 August 1792 as part of the French Revolution and the royal family was subsequently imprisoned at the Temple Prison. Louis was executed on 21 January 1793.
Marie was finally tried by the Revolutionary Tribunal on 14 October 1793. Unlike the king, who had been given time to prepare a defense, the queen's trial was far more of a sham, considering the time she was given (less than one day). Among the things she was accused of (most, if not all, of the accusations were untrue and probably lifted from rumors begun by libelles - slanderous pamphlets critical of the monarchy that circulated in France at the time) were orchestrating orgies in Versailles, sending millions of livres of treasury money to Austria, plotting to kill the Duke of Orléans, incest with her son, declaring her son to be the new king of France and orchestrating the massacre of the Swiss Guards in 1792.
The most infamous charge was that she sexually abused her son. This was according to her 2nd son, the then 8-year-old Louis Charles, who, through his coaching by Hébert (a member of the Committee of Public Safety and his guardian), accused his mother. After being reminded that she had not answered the charge of incest, Marie Antoinette protested emotionally to the accusation, and the women present in the courtroom - the market women who had stormed the palace for her entrails in 1789 - ironically began to support her. The outcome of the trial had, of course, been decided by the Committee of Public Safety before it even started and nine months after her husband's execution, Marie Antoinette was convicted of treason and executed by guillotine on 16 October 1793. In reality, all she had done to cause her own arrest was to marry the king and remain in France after the Revolution.
