- Marie Antoinette's only scene that I'm aware of...it's real quick but I thought I throw it up for anyone interested. This is the cutscene for the co-op mission, "Woman's March."

I hate how marie antoinette is always portrayed as a villainess when in reality she was just a scapegoat
She was a sweetheart.
The allusions to cake (including the line where she supposedly said "let them eat cake") is also totally inaccurate and misrepresented.
@Drew Madison always end the bloodline.
@Drew Madison That's true. Not even his heir, cause the child was ill.
@Drew Madison That completely true. Is ironic because he tried to defended the Austro-Hungary empire.
When he needed help, Austro- Hungary turnd its back.
The fact that people think Antoinette had any power is hilarious. She wasn't even French, which lessened her influence. She was just living it up while she could.
And she cared about the poor, and tried to help them when she could. Her only crime was being born in the wrong country. She has been terribly maligned, and often on nothing but rumour.
She's also a gambler.
+Patrick Casey as if all previous queens were saints
+Napoleom Bonaparte you would do what she did if u were in her shoes. No one wants to offer his own head in a golden plate
Interestingly enough Marie Antoinette actually had more French blood than her husband Louis XVI. Two of her grandparents were French to Louis XVI's one. Of course, all the French saw was a foreigner.
I hate how this is all we see of Marie in this game. I would have loved a mission where we had to talk to her. Historically there was a secret plot to try and break her out of prison, but she declined to go along with it. That could have been a mission!
Stopping the royal carriage at Varen? Yeah that would be awsome!
I heard the guard who helped plotting this with someone of higher rank there backed off and was scared to do this fearing of harming his family. But it was true and she was determined to escape.
There actually is a Social Club mission called 'The Betrayer of the Queen,' where you kill one of the guards responsible for exposing the so-called Carnation Plot. She's mentioned a lot in the game, but I agree with you that she should have been more of a central figure. It was her that many people erroneously blamed for the collapse of French finances, and she had become a symbol of everything wrong with the upper echelons of French society. At least we see her, though, however small it is.
Love Marie Antoinette was a queen largely misunderstood, but wonderful. so much so that even through the centuries she is remembered with much glamor.
+Ed Findlay (RetroGamer3) actually she didn't spend as much as the rest of the aristocracy and that she was never trained for the throne because she had two elder sisters who died
well, its hard to spend as much as the rest of the aristocracy, considering how much most of them spent
+Ed Findlay Learn Your History,You Idiotic Little Shit. And Leave That Sexist Bull Shit Back In The 60's Where It Belongs.
Ed Findlay. Here.. Go to History.com and read up on Marie Antoinette. Perhaps you can surprise yourself with how ignorant you really are.
***** Yup
i love marie antoinette, she is one of the historical figures that I like, I dont know why. Wanted she had appeared in more scenes in assassin creed unity.
You probably like her because she shallowly appeals to pop culture. But she was a selfish, ignorant mess.
At the time I posted this comment I did not have much study, but over time I studied and I liked her much more and it was an injustice to kill her and her children, they should have expelled the king and his family from France because Marie Antoinette did not choose to be queen
Indeed. She Was A Powerful Women At A Time When People Feared That And Really Was The ONLY One In Power Since Her Husband Was Pretty Much A Man Child That Did'int Do Anything As King. Marie HATED A Lot Of The Royal Customs As Well (She Was Kind Of A "Rebel Queen") And That Alone Gave Her A LOT Of Uncalled For Hate. Now,Could She Have Handled Things Better? Yes. But She Was Under So Much Stress From All The Hate She Got For EVERYTHING That I'm Sure ANYONE Would Have Gotten Lost In The Royal Life Just To Cope. What People Also Don't Seem To Get About Her Is That She Was QUEEN-She Had The Power To Have People KILLED For The Things Did While She Was Still In Power Like Many OTHER Queens Would Have-But She Did'int. Rather Then Punish Them She Chose To Cope With It Anyway She Could (One Of That Ways Was Making A Sort Of Village Disneyland Where She And Her Friends Could Stop Being Royal For A While And Pretend They Were Village Girls In A Fully Kept Village-Her People However Misunderstood It As "Mocking" Them). But I Think What Pisses Me Off The Most About What Everything That Happened To Her Is That Even NOW She Is Only Remembered As The Bad Guy And France Likes To Pretend That What Her People Did Was Totally Justified And That She Was Just A Monster Needing To Be Slayed (Hell-It's To The Point That Whenever I Meet A French Person (I'm Canadian So I Mean REAL French Not OUR French) I Make A Point To Tell Them That I Love Marie Antoinette So They Know Not To Start Bashing Her In Front Of Me). At The End Of The Day She Was Just Misunderstood And Tried To Run A Kingdom AND Fight The Sexist Oppression Of That Time And Did'int Deserve What They Did To Her.
According to what I've seen it was French Nobility that refused to pay taxes even when country was out of money. They didn't care that the common folk were starving. Thus the Royal family paid the price for Greed that was not their own. And whats worse the words "Let them Eat Cake" was never once spoken from Antoinette's mouth.
In fact in child hood her mother was having her give food to the poor and old in her country, but she was unable to do so in France. More then likely the Nobles would have been the ones to rise up and spread awful rumors of the Queen, slandering her. Also because she was Austrian she was also see as the reason for everything.
Yeah, basically she tried to run a country where the monarchy had absolute power, but no real influence over the parlement. Her harsh reforms failed, and she got a new minister. Fail again, stuff happened and because she appointed an ally, those who were a part of her social class saw it as an attempt to seize their privileges for the royalty and etc. This didn't exactly bode well with literally everything else. Although, I am not too sure about the disneyland peasant life though. It costed a lot, and wasn't really going to help her image.
What happened was this: Nobles refused to be taxed, government costed too much, which already hurt the common folk, and local governments could dismiss any new laws that may have a "negative" effect on their region and their key supporters. When everything goes bad, Marie is blamed for their problems, and they fanned the flames for a revolution. The revolutionaries murders the queen and her family, replacing monarchy with a dictatorship without a real leader until one man steps up. Nothing really changes since they still have an expensive war on their hands.
Oh and you can't really say all of this without pointing out the negatives. Can't be that unfair.
Marie and her bunch saw themselves as higher beings selected by god. Was it bad? Not really, most royalty were like this. Did she have her fair share of opulence and overspending before coming into power? Yes, she's a queen and a teenager. Did they largely ignore the issue until her husband cracked under his crippling depression? Yes. Yes they did. Until she actually got to do what she wanted, they were kind of in a trut trying to get the upper class to behave.
It can’t be a game about the French Revolution without Marie Antoinette
She never said "Let them eat cake" which this references. Rousseau made her say it in a propaganda pamphlet.
The cake is a lie.
So people fought for False reason 🤔
Jakob, you're almost right: Rousseau didn't attributed the phrase to Marie Antoinette. It is written in the sixth book of his "Confessions" in which he tells an anecdote about his life in which he remembers that phrase begin said by a princess, but he talks about an event happened in 1741 when the queen wasn't even born yet. The phrase became associated with her because her enemies took it from Rousseau's book, ignoring the date completely.
bittu observer no she was just naive towards the whole thing.
@@bittu2507 oh no, France was in a crisis due to Luis XIV (Luis XVI grandfather) but his son Luis XV made it worst spending more money in the war of the 13 colonies, helping usa. They were just unlucky and scapegoats
the phrase was said by another French Queen decades, maybe a century before Marie Antoinette
Marie Antoinette was a scapegoat this revolution would have happened no matter what. Marie was hated because she was Austrian and did not give an heir for the first 7 years of the marriage.. she would have always been hated no matter what she did to try and fix her reputation. She was not responsible with getting money tho buying expensive clothes shoes wigs etc ,but she was stressed because the people hated her and shopping was her escape. The French (working class) were also mad because of the chateau she had built in Versailles to escape from queenly duties where she dressed as a working class woman. We cannot blame her for wanting a break and wondering what it would be like to not have to auctioned off to the highest bidder at a young age and being hated by the country you haven’t even begun to rule over yet. I feel bad for Marie I really do.. and what they did to get kids especially her kid son was horrible. If you don’t already know guards had prostitutes rape her son and made it seem like she gave him the std’s his older sister had to hear him get beat and raped by guards and prostitutes and was later tortured with people claiming to be her actual brother even tho he was dead.. the last family in the French courts family is very sad..(sorry for the long paragraphs)
But in all honesty, She brought it upon herself. While her ‘cake’ phrase might just be an exaggeration, The truth still remains that she and her husband spent majority of the Country’s wealth to fulfill their luxurious desires.
- The People actually never wanted them dead. I believe Robespierre himself petitioned twice, that they institute a constitutional monarchy, but the request fell on deaf ears. Even when the palace of Tuileries was stormed, They were only taken prisoner, no harm was inflicted.
Only when he realized that they tried to flee France was when Robespierre got mad.
@@medallionstaywinnin Yes! Louis was offered a role as a constitutional monarch (Like in Britain at them time), but he refused it after pressure from Marie who instead wanted to flee to Austria and have the Austrian Empire annex France temporarily and to then cede it back to Marie and Louis. This is was ultimately caused their fate, they weren't innocent in all of this.
"Pardon sir" - Marie Antoinette after accidentally stepping on her executioners foot.
Ubisoft is usually spot on with the history but with Marie Antoinette they were way, way off about her. Eh, everyone drops the ball now and again.
To be fair Marie was misunderstood.
Not really, up until her death sure, but she went out and asked for death herself. Marie and Louis was offered a role as a constitutional monarch, which Marie pressured her husband to reject in order to flee to Austria and have the Austrian Empire annex France temporarily and cede it back to Marie and Louis.
I still can't believe Ubisoft managed to get dead people to cameo in their video game
Marie Antoinette should’ve had a larger role in that game.......
"We must show the rest of the world that we have English Accents too!"
1. They reused the chalice of arno's iniciation on the table of Marie Antoinette
2. This Marie Antoinette looks suspiciously similar to Kristen Dunst
If I remember history correctly Marie Antoinette was beheaded by an guillotine in 1793 6 months after her husband the king. And their heads stayed on poles till the revolution ended and napoleon seized power.
Charles henri sanson
Her head went to madame tussauds to make a death mask in fact.
You know there is something wrong with the game when Marie Antoinette's first spoken line is: "Whassup, my homies?"
But the only line in the game muttered by her is “Bring us more of this cake”
Marie Antoinette (born Maria Antonia Josepha Johanna; 2 November 1755 - 16 October 1793) was the last Queen of France before the French Revolution.
She was born an Archduchess of Austria, and was the penultimate child of Empress Maria Theresa and Francis I, Holy Roman Emperor.
In April 1770, upon her marriage to Louis-Auguste, heir apparent to the French throne, she became Dauphine of France.
On 10 May 1774, when her husband ascended the throne as Louis XVI, she assumed the title Queen of France and Navarre, which she held until September 1791, when, as the French Revolution proceeded, she became Queen of the French, a title she held until 21 September 1792.
After eight years of marriage, Marie Antoinette gave birth to a daughter, Marie Thérèse, the first of her four children.
Despite her initial popularity, a growing number of the population eventually came to dislike her, accusing her of being profligate, promiscuous, and of harbouring sympathies for France's enemies, particularly her native Austria.
The Affair of the Diamond Necklace damaged her reputation further.
During the Revolution, she became known as Madame Déficit because the country's financial crisis was blamed on her lavish spending and her opposition to the social and financial reforms of Turgot and Necker.
During the Revolution, after the government had placed the royal family under house arrest in the Tuileries Palace in October 1789, several events linked to Marie Antoinette, in particular the June 1791 attempted flight to Varennes and her role in the War of the First Coalition, had disastrous effects on French popular opinion.
On 10 August 1792, the attack on the Tuileries forced the royal family to take refuge at the Assembly, and on 13 August the family was imprisoned in the Temple.
On 21 September 1792, the monarchy was abolished.
After a two-day trial began on 14 October 1793, Marie Antoinette was convicted by the Revolutionary Tribunal of high treason and executed by guillotine on the Place de la Révolution on 16 October 1793.
Marie Antoinette is Austrian lmfao. She never had real power. She was a scapegoat for the french to rebel. One of my favorite historical figures is in AC tho. Napolean. My favorite historical person. Bonaparte is the best general to ever live.
Wasn't he 5'3
0:43 she kinda looks like Kirsten Dunst...nice
2 Things are a lie here. First, bread and taxes was never raised for working class. Only for nobility and rich people. Second, she never throwed parties during the times when France were still paying Britain after they lost the battle, which is why King raised taxes for nobility.
Türkische Nationalist she did spend 300000 livres on her wardrobe annually and constructed a little mock village for herself to play at pretending to be a peasant woman.
I'd say it is quite repugnant to spend lavishly on clothes and play pretend with another's day to day suffering. There are peasants dying in the city and she plays dress up as a peasant as part of some theatrical game? That's terrible.
EmptyMan000 It wasn't really a mock about peasant life, but rather a "getaway" sort of fantasy life for her. She had no idea how bad France was suffering, she was simply more or less a breeding machine for the throne, and so assumed the life of a non royal would be more peaceful, as the court life was much too stressful and bitchy for the carefree Marie-Antoinette. The "peasant" farm was located very close to the estate where she personally lived and raised her children. Clearly she wanted them to be away from all the protocol at Versailles. Naturally however, the french public took her peaceful getaway as a type of mockery against them and so it infuriated them.
+fl333r 300000 livres on her wardrobe how about the protocol louis XIV issued that the queen wears 3 dresses a day and she MUST NOT wear it again? 3 x 30 thats 90 dresses a month. She had to follow this rule. Hence she was not a fan of it she preferred wearing simple linen dresses in her Trianon.
Taxation on the working class (the peasantries in historical terms) was the main factor that sparked the revolution. The working class were heavily taxed and the nobilities were always least affected. As for the parties, despite France being in great debt, the nobilities and the Royal family did not stop living lavishly and partying heartily. The financial burden was almost entirely put on the working class while the richer classes lived like nothing was wrong, another factor that sparked the revolution
She keeps her Moet et Chandon, in her pretty cabinet
Let them eat cake she says
Just like Marie Antoinette
SHE IS A KIRA QUEEEEEN
GUN POWDER GELOTINE
DYNAMITE WITH LASER BEEM
READY TO BLOW YOUR MIND
ANYTIME~~~
omg is she based on kirsten dunst???
Definitely looks that way.
tonita88 yes it's a reference to the Movie Marie Antoinette.
tonita88 First thing that came through my mind...
+tonita88 Looks like her.
Gabe Mayfield did she voice that line?
THÉROIGNE WAS SO BADASS OML
O-K so... where can I see the rest of this? Because that was epic.
I found the video of the gameplay. Thanks! *****
Marie Antoinette’s said that she can be free on her palace by secret
That mispronunciation of Theroigne (tair-one-yuh) though...
Why in almost every media marie Antoinette always a villainess
i mean jokingly abt HM Marie is my favorite because she is indeed my favorite,she got blackmailed really bad that her head got chopped off,she's not in good term with louis until age of 21,she's a girl with shy personality,her mother sent her to france at the very young age,her famous quotes called "let them eat cake" were not even said by her,indeed she's not the best in france but she just living like how other nobles live in france during that time,and how her trying to make people understand fhat she and louis wanted to reform the ancien regime into more constitutional because of louis xv the beloved screwed up the structural government,and the sun king also didn't make any better either
And years later marie become a servant...
History doesn’t take sides.....but Bethesda does.
Ubisoft made this game
Did mean this for the Wolfeinstein®: New Order?
Because the Bethesda made that game too.
One problem Bethesda doesn’t make assassins creed
Let them eat cake she says just like Marie Antoinette
Marie Antoinette never said that in real life, it was a quote spread by her haters...
It wasn't spread by haters, it was spread by people who couldn't translate French to English properly
Queen - killer queen
@@MrsJasmyn45 Nope, it was quoted by Rousseau speaking about some great princess (believed to be told by the Spanish princess who became the wife of Louis XIV, 100 before Marie was born), also he wrote it in 1769 when Marie was 14.
It was published in 1782 and attributed to Marie Antoinette in 1843.
Seriously you have internet why don't double-check before stating something as a fact and ending up looking stupid after. This took me only 2 minutes.
Is it me or does Marie actually sound like Kirsten Dunst
And Theroigne de Mericourt looks like Sarah Paulson
Her diamond bracelet were sold yesterday for 8M $ ,
I'm here to see if she was in assassin's creed unity because i knew she died during the events of this game .
So inaccurate, Mericourt was hardly that influential
She was.
Why does Marie in this game sounds very similar to when Kristen Dunst played the last Queen of France in the 2006 Marie Antoinette movie?
I like that everyone blame Maria Antoniette. That country which breaks down because five feast or ten riding clothes is a very weak and poor country.
France broke down because of the help brought to the United States and because most of the nobility was living far more lavishly than Marie-Antoinette.
@@MatthewVanston and natural disasters, and the nobility and clergy paying 0 taxes while the taxes of the third estate kept rising, and collonial wars and king louis being a dumbass
France evolved to a revolution by multiple things: Famine due to poor harvest and increased demand for food, continued bad governance, being in deficit for a long period of time and taxation burden to the everyday Frenchmen.
Basically even if the king had demanded a constitutional monarchy and taxed the rich, the revolution would have happened. History doesn’t happen in a vacuum
0:37 🤤👸🏻🍰👑👸🏼👑🍰👸🏻🤤
Computer Lady: While Mericourt was fighting to keep Paris fed, Antoinette and the Royals were throwing parties.
Marie Antoinette: Bring us more of this cake!
Me: Wow. Marie Antoinette sure likes cake than anyone else. That's sus. *Comedy drums* xxx ☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺
Pourquoi ils ne parlent pas français avec des sous-titres anglais..Ce serait plus réaliste..
Grave! Sans parler de cette manie de faire passer Marie Antoinette comme une femme frivole alors que ce n'etait pas le cas
@@benjaminmozin1478 Dépenser 300 000 livres par an dans sa garde-robe + un village artificiel où elle jouait à la paysanne, ce n'est pas ce que j'appelle de la frugalité non plus...
My neighborhood is named after her.The revolutionary narrative made her a villain,just like it made the church a villain,and killed them both. In the end,not even Louis XV or Louis XIV could be totally blamed by the failures of France at the time,but the revolutionary mindset fucks people's minds,look at america today,where even time itself is considered racist.
BTW,Her famous phrase was fake news propagated by the revolutionaries,and them were already dominating the academy and the media decades before the revolution,with their "Sociétes de penseé".
Hush, you're beginning to sound like a Monarchist.
Bring back monarchy now!
Comment osent-ils représenter Antonia comme ça ?!
The templars are helping them, then why do you have to kill those templars?xd
So yeah, marie antoinette was greatly misunderstood but recently more n more ppl have come to realize that the image that was barely an accurate representation of her is much more impactful than herself.
Also the line let them eat cake wasnt even from her. She deserves better.
very interesting...
This game sucks.
1. Marie Antoinette was not evil.
2. Conan o'Brien rightfully tore this game apart when it comes to the English accents in France.
She wasn’t evil, but she spent a lot of money on clothes and jewellery, which is shown here.
@@CEB1896 So did most of the nobility, which spent far more than her. She did not even spend a tenth of what her father-in-law spent in building a mansion for Pompadour.
Well he will not eat cake for today
Why does mericourt look like Emily blunt?
She may not have said the cake thing but I doubt she was living on a budget. Robespierre's portrayal however... he deserved better :
not rlly it potrayed him at the end of the revolution where he went full dictator mode
@@Nigrutinn it's not a fair portrayal of a man who was in many ways ahead of his time. Context matters, and the Revolution was absolute chaos. In the end he tried to control that chaos and failed but his legacy goes further back.
@@stupor_mundi except it wasnt showing his legacy it was showing his downfall because the game takes place during his downfall, its not a complex concept
@@Nigrutinn Lmao ok, if you believe his downfall happened as the game shows I'm not surprised you also find the rest of his portrayal authentic. So I'll remind you the Templar/Assassins story Robespierre was weaved into is a work of fiction. So no, not even his downfall happened this way.
Anyway, Ubisoft wasn't going for authenticity, his portrayal as a pathetic and flat comic-book villain was for storytelling purposes. And even if many in France were also disappointed by his depiction here it's only a game, it's not that deep.
@@stupor_mundi i am french myslef, and havent finished the main story yet but i did play all of the co op missions and he seemd pretty authentic to me other than that one templar mission
I hate this mission so much 😂
Kirsten dusnt ❤️
soo much better than assasins creed 3...
HAHHAHAHAHAHA no
Brah
Dr Thuganomics no
Again the Dauphiné is showed incorrectly, this game suck
What a fucked up cameo very historically inaccurate? this is the reason I stopped buying assassins creed after black flag
Assassin's Creed is a big dumb game but with beautiful graphic.
Even the Assassin organization itself is irrational.
Hashashins once used to kill some important people in Muslim Empire. It's no more than that. They're Shia Muslims and they thirsts for power. And then the Mongols came. The Hashashins destroyed.
Red Dead Redemption is better than AC btw if we talk about the "historical open world game like GTA" genre.
The AC licence never claimed to be 100% historically accurate though. Wasn't the fact that the creators displayed a highly advanced civilization that disappeared in a solar catastrophe about 80 000 years ago enough of a hint that this game was never meant to be historically realistic?
@@MatthewVanstonyeah a game that is set in 17th century that have an apple that create hologram and no character is freaking out about that is really historical accurate 😂
good thing this game tanked.
