How did Marie Antoinette shape the French Revolution?
When Marie Antoinette became queen of France, she didn't know anything about the country. Growing up in Austria, she had a carefree life. When she was told she was to marry Louis the 16 she was only 14 and he was 15. It was hard for her to adjust to the new customs that she was told to follow. She had to leave all of her Austrian life behind. Since France and Austria were enemies, she was unpopular the moment she stepped into France. Even though she was going to be queen in a wonderful palace in a great country, she didn't like her life at all. Her husband ignored her, so they didn't have children for quite some time which is one of the reasons the French despised the royal couple. Since she had no children to take care of she had to find ways to entertian herself. She spent so much money on gowns, jewelry, sweets, gambling, and having plays put on in Paris. She had a horrible gambling problem. In one game she lost a total of $1.5 million. She even earned herself a nickname "Madame Deficit" which means "Miss Debt." One thing that got her into great deal of trouble was the famous qoute she never said when the French people begged her for more bread. "Let them eat cake." After awhile she and Louis managed to have children. Marie decided to try to make the French people appreciate her by having portraits taken of her with her children and sometimes wore plain white gowns when she was at her vacation house with her children.But it didn't work. After awhile when the high price on bread was getting higher, French citizens started to rebel. Many rebels marched for 12 miles from Paris to the Palace of Versailles with fires and pitchforks and killed two of the palace guards. They ordered the king and queen to leave and come to Paris. Marie and Louis tried to make a daring escaped to Austria but were caught and returned to Paris. They were both de-throned and France became a republic. Louis the 16 was sentence to death at his trial and beheaded by the guillotine. Eight months later, during the Reign of Terror, Marie's children were taken away from her and during her trial she was also sentenced to death by the guillotine. Marie had changed since she was de-throned. She was pale and her hair had turned gray and she had gotten thin. She was hardly recognizable. When she stepped up to the guillotine she accidently stepped on her executioners foot. "Monsuir, forgive me, I did not do it on purpose." Those where her last words.
Why was Marie Antoinette important?
Marie Antoinette was born November 2,1755 in Austria, the daughter of Francis I, Holy Roman Emperor and Austrian Empress Maria Theresa. She was also born on the same day as the famous earthquake of Lisbon. She was the queen of France at the outbreak of the French Revolution. In 1770 she was married to the French Dauphin, who 4 years later ascended the throne as Louis XVI. The personalities of the two rulers were very different while Louis XVI was phlegmatic and withdrawn, Marie Antoinette was strong, but care free. Marie Antoinette was imprudent in her actions and choice of friends. She soon became unpopular in the court and the country, making many of the nobles furious, including the King's brothers and those Frenchmen who regretted the recently concluded alliance with Austria, long regarded as the traditional enemy for the population. As a whole, she became the symbol for the extravagance to the court. What you have to understand farmost about Marie Antoinette is that she was a young girl, a very young girl, who's only education in life was how to be an aristocrat. She wasn't even raised to be a queen, her mother, the Empress Maria Theresa of Austria, was far to busy ruling the country and left Marie Antoinette's education in the hands of her governesses who spoiled the girl (after all, she was very pretty & charming, and was the youngest of the girls in the family), doing her homework for her so Marie Antoinette did not have to do it herself. The poor girl had a hard life in France. First as the Dauphine (the wife of the next King of France), she had little knowledge of France and it's customs. She was not accustomed to the size, riches and amoral values that was the court of France at this time. Not to mention that her relationship with her husband, Louis XVI was a rather odd one. It took quite some time for the marriage to be consummated, and for them to produce a child (8 years). During that time, the Dauphine had to listen to all the rumors that the court and the country were spreading about her (her marriage was a sham and her husband was an imbecile and impotent). She was also extremely homesick (she missed her sisters and mother greatly). Marie was well-known to have spent wildly as a young queen before tempering things as she matured. The daughter of Francis I and Maria Theresa, Emperor and Empress of the Holy Roman Empire, Marie left Austria for France in 1770 to marry the prince of France. In 1774 the prince became King Louis XVI and Marie became queen. As revolution swept Paris in 1789, the king and queen tried to flee but failed. While the revolutionaries were trying to hash out a new system of government, Marie and Louis XVI were stuck as prisoners at the palace Le Tuileries. They tried to get help from royal supporters in England, Prussia and Austria, but in 1792 they were arrested and charged with treason. Louis was beheaded 21 January 1793 and Marie was beheaded 16 October 1793. One of the first things to remember about Marie Antoinette is that for most of her life she was bored. Raised at one court and married into another at fourteen. Also when she was born she had already been promised for marriage. Marie Antoinette's last words were an apology to the executioner after accidentally stepping on his foot… Marie Antoinette was played by Kristen Dunst in the 2006 film of Marie Antoinette directed by Sofia Coppola.
