Answer #1

“She was the mother of Louis XVII, who died in the Temple Tower at the age of ten during the French Revolution. Marie Antoinette is perhaps best remembered for her legendary extravagance and for her death: she was executed by guillotine during the Reign of Terror at the height of the French Revolution in 1793 for the crime of treason. She is one of the most renowned queens in history.”

Answer #2

When told that the masses had no bread, She replied “Let them eat cake” Her,and the King were beheaded.

After the Bastille was stormed on July 14, 1789, the queen urged the king to resist the Assembly’s reforms, making her even more unpopular, and leading to the attribution to her of the remark, “Qu’ils mangent de la brioche!” – “Let them eat cake!” In October, 1789, the royal couple were forced to move to Paris.Reportedly planned by Marie Antoinette, the escape of the royal couple from Paris was stopped at Varennes on October 21, 1791. Imprisoned with the king, Marie Antoinette continued to plot. She hoped for foreign intervention to end the revolution and free the royal family. She urged her brother, the Holy Roman Emperor Leopold II, to intervene, and supported a declaration of war against Austria in April, 1792, which she hoped would result in the defeat of France.Her unpopularity helped lead to the overthrow of the monarchy when Parisiennes stormed the Tuileries palace on Aug. 10, 1792, followed by the establishment of the First French Republic in September. The family was imprisoned in the Temple on August 13, 1792, and moved to the Conciergie on Autust 1, 1793. There were several attempts to escape, but all failed.
