Besides the harp, she learned to play harpsichord, spinet, and clavichord.
Marie Antoinette.
Other than being two Tragic Queens- victims of revolution, not much in common. Both Marie Antoinette and Alexandra were originally of Germanic Nationality. The Czarina was originally surnamed Von Hess! Marie Antoinette was of Austrian extraction, not German- like Berlin, but a German-speaking country. She was one of the daughters of Maria Theresa- the chunky empress who is still honored on coins made well over 200 years after her death! ( the Maria Theresa Thaler- all of which are dated l780). Marie Antoinette was Catholic, Alexandra was Lutheran but converted to Russian Orthodox faith- most zealous in that line!
No. Unless you count walking by each other in the halls and meals the day before the wedding.
Marie Antoinette was sentenced to death by guillotine on October 16, 1793, during the French Revolution. She was convicted of treason and other charges by the Revolutionary Tribunal, largely due to her association with the monarchy and perceived excesses during a time of widespread suffering in France. Her execution marked a significant moment in the revolution, symbolizing the fall of the monarchy and the rise of revolutionary ideals.
He gave her the Petit Trianon. It was a house that Louis XV had ordered the built for. He had meant it as a pleasure house and wanted to give it to his mistress Madame du Pompadour, but she died before it was ready. After that, he met his other mistress Madame du Barry there often. The little house looked slightly like the Schonbrunn palace in Vienna where Marie Antoinette had grown up, and several people sarcastically called it "Little Vienna). Marie Antoinette loved the house very much and spent a lot of time there, away from her restricted life at court with all its etiquette and prying eyes.

Marie Antoinette may not have had great accomplishments as other royals, but she refused to conform to all of society's laws and revolutionized the French aristocracy and Versailles.

Marie-Antoinette, wife and Queen of Louis XVI, was executed by guillotine on the grounds that she had committed treason by corresponding with her relative who ruled Austria, a country at war with France. She was also accused of a number of other crimes, from wasting the national treasure (which was partly true) to quite ridiculous items like incest with her son.
Marie Antoinette was queen of France (husband Louis XVI) were rulers during the French Revolution in the 1700s. Because of the revolution, both were killed by revolting peasants. They were killed by the guillotine, a more "humane" way of killing criminals that involves quickly dropping a blade to decapitate them.There are a few other things important to note during this time:Marie Antoinette and her husband were no older than sixteen during the time, and they were RULING a whole COUNTRY!Marie Antoinette did NOT say the well-known "Let them eat cake," to the peasants.
