About Marie Antoinette
Marie Antoinette (1755-1793) was the last Queen of France before the French Revolution. Born in Austria, she married Louis XVI at the age of 15 to strengthen the diplomatic ties between Austria and France. Known for her extravagant lifestyle, she became a symbol of the decadence and excesses of the French monarchy. Falsely accused of being indifferent to the struggles of the French people, she famously never uttered the phrase 'Let them eat cake.' She faced public scrutiny, was put on trial, and ultimately met her fate at the guillotine during the Reign of Terror.
