Best Answer

Unfortunately, Marie Antoinette is most well-known for saying "Let them eat cake", which is untrue, and for being incredibly frivolous while the French were starving. She was guillotined on October 16, 1793 for treason and incest. However, she was a great mother to her children and ordered fires to be built in the streets of Paris to warm the people in the winters. She does not deserve her fate or her reputation.
