  • Marie Antoinette was the last queen of France before the French Revolution. She married King Louis XVI at a young age and became known for her lavish lifestyle and extravagant spending. Her reputation was tarnished by rumours of her affairs and political influence, and she became a symbol of the excesses of the monarchy. Despite her efforts to reform her image, she was ultimately unable to escape the Revolution, and she was executed by guillotine in 1793. Her legacy remains controversial, but she is remembered as a tragic figure who was unable to reconcile the demands of her royal role with the changing times.

    She was truly misunderstood. She was not a greedy gluttonous woman as history wants us to believe. She was a pious woman that was run down with her family because they were monarchs and there was a rebellious anti monarch faction in France that later spread all over the world

    Marie Antoinette was not extravagant. She had to wear French fashion to show off the excellence of France's highly skilled product production. her dresses showed off the high level of French tailoring and highest quality French fabrics. Everything she wore was to show off French excellence. Her jewelry advertised the high level of French jewelry innovation and craftsmanship . If she drank tea out of a bone china cup, it showed France's high level of china production. If she walked on a rug, it was a French made rug. Marie Antoinette was a walking billboard for the craftsmanship and luxury products of France and she was advertising the high level of quality and excellence that France is still known for TODAY. The same as when a popular singer or actress today wears borrowed Louis Vuitton or Gucci etc and sales go up because someone famous wore it. You dont see the Queen of England or Princess Catherine running around in Italian designer clothes or German cars, do you ? They are British Royals, and they wear British designer clothes, eat British food and drive British cars to PROMOTE British excellence and British industry. Marie Antoinette was accused of a lot of things in her life of which she was not guilty. From hairbrushes to shoes to perfume to bone china, the things that Marie Antoinette used are still in high demand today and are recognized for their excellence and for being French.

    One disturbing fact about the French Revolution, is that in some revolutionary tribunals, the jury acted as both the jury and the prosecution, meaning in most cases the defendants didn't stand a proper trial as they were denied the opportunity to prepare their cases for their defense. In other words, once suspected, you're as good as guilty. Marie Antoinette in particular was the subject of a lot of unjustness, stemming from the vengeful populace. She was falsely accused of abusing her son, engaging in incest with him and the poor boy was manipulated to tastify against her, and his testimony, a mislead child's testimony was taken into consideration! As she heard this, she burst into tears, appealing to all mothers present for her innocence as she denied this abhorrent charge that no mother would act. She was nonetheless convicted

      @@bmona7550 actually, France was broke because King Louis XIV involved France in 5 or 6 long and costly wars, and spent much too much money building Versailles. Then Louis XV was a weak and ineffective king, and Louis XVI inherited the whole financial mess plus a great deal of money from the French treasury was poured into the American revolution as soon as he became king. And the French were not really supporting the American revolution, they just wanted to stick it to the British. I;m not saying that Louis XVI was a brilliant economist (he wasn't) but he did inherit a huge national financial mess that was started by his father's and grandfather's governments.

    Marie Antoinette could do no right. Accused of being excessive. which was more the result of being ignored by Her husband who did not consummate the marriage for 7 yrs. The pressure to produce an heir. As she matured she tried to live more simply and was accused of imitating the poor. Marie Antoinette adopted an orphan whom her carriage almost ran over.she also adopted a black slave freed and gave him the best life and education reserved for royalties. When the famous composer Chavalier St. George was rejected and rebuffed by the Singers/Divas in the Paris Opera Marie Antoinette gave him refuge and hired him as her teacher and brought the opera to her home in Versailles with the Chevalier as it's head. She was a scapegoat and her trial was a farce. I wonder how the present day French people view the past actions of their ancestors in Regard to Maria Antoinette.

    It wasn’t Marie Antoinette that bankrolled the American Revolution, emptying out an already seriously depleted treasury. There were several examples of her exercising fiscal responsibility, such as in the “Affair of the Queen’s Necklace”. Louis’ XIV, XV, & XVI and their policies of taxing the poor and not the wealthy are responsible for the events that lead to the French Revolution. Most monarchs at the time did the exact same thing, and most governments still do it today. The USA definitely does!

And the numerous letters her mother sent to her were of no help in her situation and loneliness - just the contrary.

      Royalty in that era married around her age mostly due to politcal reasons, in her case it was because of the new allience between France and Austria which were arch enimies. Also people talk like she was married to some old man or something but Louis XVI was barely a year older than her.

    She also gave political advices to her husband during his periods of depression, which allowed her to have more influences on countrys finances... However results of these advices did not sit well among people.. She also failed to attend the assembly of Notables which was held in purpose of initiating financial reforms (the assembly itself didn't pass any reforms) and in generally she failed to execute financial & agricultural reforms. Also she disagreed with financial minister who proposed equality before law

      @helycrisea8189 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes , but her husband and she fled from Paris to rejoin France's ennemies. Marie-Antoinette 's secret letters proved that she had contacted them.That's why they were arrested and sentenced to death for having betrayed their oath to the respect the new constitution ( pretty much like a constitutional monarchy). Marie wanted her husband to remain a king by divine right like his predecessors King Louis XIV and King Louis XV. The French revolutionaries didn't want that anymore.
      I agree that neither Louis nor Marie-Antoinette were evil people. Not at all. Unfortunately, they had no political sense and awareness. Louis was a sensitive and intelligent man but he wasn't ruthless enough. He was also influenced by his wife. French people were suffering a lot before the French Revolution so we can't say they were wrong to ask for justice. If the whole of European monarchies hadn't attacked France, there wouldn't have been a Terror regime with so many people guillotined.

    She was very beautiful and she had to wait several years till her husband was forced to have children with her, because he needed heirs and didn’t know how to make them. That was interesting to read about.

      "They found faults in the King and Queen" The level of ignorance is crazy. Even if you cannot blame the Queen, which I understand partly, excusing the King is absolutely crazy. Have you not read history? Have you not read about how the two estates stepped on the back of the poor peasants and starved them, taxed them like no end? Yes, this revolution left a power vacuum which was taken advantage of by the Robespierre government but saying the entire 'French Revolution' is just some power hungry people conspiring against the oh-so-innocent royal family and taking power for themselves just shows so much ignorance from your part. This revolution is the reason you can express this take, ffs!

      The power of a queen was very limited in France unlike places like England. France was already set up for a revolution from Louis Xvi or perhaps even earlier. Also they had bad harvests and also taxes were only paid by the poor (The 3rd Estate). Her husband the king tried several times to tax the rich nobles. But through the power of them and the weakness of the king was unable to do so thus accelerating the French Revolution

The masses eat up any hate against the scapegoat because when you are starving you tend to not be critical of where you direct the hate. They probably even thought worse about her than the king himself who should have become stronger to prevent most of what happened. She wasn't completely horrible at all. Just given unequal hate. The biggest ones at fault were the majority of the powerful nobles who honestly all should have been publicly flogged
