What was Marie Antoinette's life summary?
Marie Antoinette was the Austrian born child bride of the future King Louis XVI of France. It was an arranged marriage designed to (hopefully) create a better relationship between the two countries which was a common practice by the Monarchy to reduce conflicts and warfare between Nations. The French people resented the Austrian Queen and she was the subject of numerous rumors that she had been planted in France as a spy, was a spendthrift, was cold, cruel, evil, mean and any number of other charges. In truth, she was a well educated woman with excellent regal poise, she was a well qualified linguist, played the Harp with great versatility, was an accomplished equestrian and was considered to be an excellent mother to her four children.
She was put to death during the French Revolution at the age of 37 on 16 October 1793.

Why was there a struggle for the throne when King Edward died?
I assume you mean king Edward VI:
His sister Mary was first in line to the throne, but because she was a catholic, some protestants feared her ascension (chief of which, the duke of Northumberland). Since Mary was declared illegitimate by her father, they claimed Jane Grey (granddaughter of Henry's sister had the highest claim). She was protestant and married to the duke's son.
Most English people disagreed with this and supported Mary.
How did the first king become king?
The first King of England was Aethelstan who was the grandson of Alfred the Great. In 924/5 Aethelstan became king of Wessex (or king of the west saxons) after the death of his father Edward, upon the death of AEthelflaed (Aethelstan's aunt) Aethelstan assumed control over the kingdom of Mercia. This united all the kingdoms south of the river Humber under one King.
Aethelstan married his sister to a viking king of Northumbria (north of the river humber) in 927 the viking king died and Aethelstan avanced his army into Northumbria and captured the city of York. In 937 the Battle of Brunanburh took place between Aethelstan with his brother Edmund against the Scots and the Irish vikings in which Aethelstan was victorious, resulting in him becoming king of Northumbria and thus uniting it with the south creating England. Aethelstan's reign over a united England was short as he died in 939.
He married Jayarajadevi and then, after her death, married her sister Indradevi.
