Marie Antoinette
Quick introduction on Marie Antoinette. Marie Antoinette was born on November 2nd, 1755 in Vienna Austria. She was tried, convicted of treason and executed by the guillotine on October 16th, 1793. Marie married King Louis the 16th at the age of 14 and produced 4 children for him. She was well known for her political inaction in many affairs, especially those dealing with her home country of Austria. As well as her affairs with other men and women.
Since we have already learned about King Louis the sixteenth, our next historical figure will be his wife, Marie Antoinette! Many believe she only cared about lavish goods, had no regard for the people in her kingdom, and was extremely ignorant. But don’t forget that she was fourteen when she was married, she had a very complex childhood, and she was also female so King Louis could care less what she thought. Can you think of any other historical figures that may have also been misunderstood?
Let them eat cake!
