Description

From the palaces of Austria to the mirrored halls of Versailles, Marie Antoinette led a charmed life. She was once born into royalty in 1755 and married the longer term king of France at age 15. By 21 she ascended to the throne and enjoyed a lavish way of life of masquerade balls, sky-high wigs, and extravagant food. But her taste for excess ruffled many feathers. The poor other folks of France blamed Marie Antoinette for his or her poverty. Her spending helped incite the French Revolution. And after much public outcry, in 1793 she slightly literally lost her head on account of it. Whether she was once blameless or guilty is debatable, but Marie Antoinette continues to be woven into the material of history and pop culture.
