It was an arranged marriage that Maria Theresa (the mother of Marie Antoinette and Empress of Austria) and Louis XV (the grandfather of Louis XVI and King of France) arranged. Austria and France had been long time enemies and Maria Theresa and Louis XV thought it might do good to their relationship to have their countries united by a marriage of their (grand-)children.
