The poor people of France fought against the rich such as Queen Marie Antoinette and the King because they were spending so much money on parties and lavish items of pleasure. In fact, the Queen was often called Madame Deficit! The poor were angry that no money was spent to help them, because they made up most of the population. they beheaded the king and queen and had their daughter live in exile for the rest of her life.
