Marie Antoinette

Louis the 14th (XIV) was never executed!

Marie Antoinette and her husband, King Louis the 16th (XVI) were executed on the place de la revolution, currently known as place de la Concorde.

When the two royal heirs were married, Louis was fifteen and Marie was fourteen, making them one year apart.

Louis XVI was the grandson of Louis XV. Louis XV once had a son, the official dauphin (crownprince), but he died at a very young age of smallpox. Therefore, Louis' grandson became the new dauphin, and eventually Louis XVI. Marie Antoinette was the archduchess of Austria and wife of Louis XVI

Toy Story - Buzz Lightyear said it when he was delirious after learning he couldn't fly.

False. She was unpopular because she was born in Austria.

The failure to keep her country wealthy; France became very poor because of the debt the Queen put the country through, and the spending of money which was unecessary, and which the country did not have.

Élisabeth-Louise Vigée-Le Brun was the official portrait painter of Marie Antoinette.

Marie Antoinette's captors were the revolutionaries who believed that her extravagence and Austrian-ness was the cause of the poverty they suffered. They clearly would have treated her terribly, but alive so they could try and execute her.

I would like to point out that Marie Antoinette spent even less money during her time in Versailles than all other French queens before her. Also she gave a lot of money to charities and helped out financially as much as she could.

Some cases which caused tongues to waggle, were: * Her Petit Trianon, her personal Hameau de la Reine, chateau Rambouillet and her personal laiterie (milk farm) there; * Her exquisite taste in fashion; * Her need for entertainment, she gave a lot of feasts and balls; * Her gambling habits. The only reason people judged her spending so cruelly is because she was not just foreign, but Austrian. France had been in and out of war with Austria for several years and therefore the French never wanted an Austrian Queen. Also, most gossip was caused by jealousy. She was remarkably beautiful and seemed to have a lot of power over her husband (he also never had a mistress, which was considered very odd at the time) and was goodhearted and naive. This made her an easy target. France was in a financial crisis at the time, and even though she and Louis XVI spent less money than any other French monarch before them, especially Marie Antoinette was being condemned for it.

Yes the French were suspicious of Marie-Antoinette's Prussian heritage.

Marie Antoinette was a roman Catholic.

Marie Antoinette's life at La Petit Trianon was only private to her circle of chosen members of court.

The entire complex of Versailles is walled off and guarded, so that no un-invited person could attend her while she held court there.

Marie Antoinette is well known for hating books. The did not enjoy reading at all and eventhough she had a library filled with books, she never touched them.

No, of course not. She'd have ended up all sticky. Especially as Champagne was sweeter in those days. This was just one of the things that people (or propagandists) said about her to illustrate her extravagance, like 'Let them eat cake' and so on. She was extravagants, yes, but not crazy.

Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette became King and Queen of France on May 10th 1774 (the day Kng Louis XV died). They reigned until January 21st 1793 (the day Louis XVI was executed).

When Marie Antoinette came to France, she first met her future husband (Louis XVI) and his family in the Bois de Bologne, a forest nearby Paris.

I believe you mean the breast cups and not champgne glasses. She had them made for her Rambouillet pleasure Dairy farm, and ordered them at the famous Sèvres porcelain company. The cups had the shape of a female breast and it was rumoured that Marie Antoinette had the cups made from a mould of one of her own breasts. This is highly unlikely though, for she was known as a very prude woman, who even bathed in a huge robe so her ladies in waiting did not get to see her naked.

Marie Antoinette did not help the French Revolution. As the queen, she was against the revolution and did not support the revolt of her people.

She was Queen of France, a wife and a mother. She was also a patron of the Arts, a falsely accused spendthrift and a falsely accused Austrian Spy.

There does not appear to be any costume companies that make a costume that represents a beheaded or dead Marie Antoinette. There are multiple websites availble with directions on making your own.

Almost exactly minus 100. He was born on 26 December 1893 1893, she was killed on 16 October 1793.

Marie Antoinette is a deceased, executed, former French noblewoman.

Both Marie Antoinette and King Louis were killed by the guillotine around August 10, 1792.

They were killed because there were rumors of them hiding food in Versailles, the castle they lived in. They were told it was bread, and female members of the 3rd estate in France marched to Versailles and Marie and Louis were killed a bit later, when the Jacobins were in control (the time of the Reign of Terror.)

No, Marie Antoinette did not spoil her kids. Although she loved them very much, it was said that during one Christmas, she would not let them accept gifts, and instead, would donate them to the poor.
