Description:
One of the most reviled monarchs of all time, Marie Antoinette became
empress of France at the age of 19. She immediately alienated the
nobility with her disregard for court etiquette, and offended the
citizens with her incredible extravagance and absolute disregard of
their situation. Informed that her subjects were starving for lack of
bread, she was said to have responded, "Let them eat cake."
By August of 1792 the people had rebelled, and Marie and King Louis XVI
were imprisoned. Within months they were beheaded. Journey back to the
explosive era of the French Revolution for a revealing portrait of the
young empress. See the incredible opulence in which she lived, and hear
from famed historians about her upbringing and heritage, and why she
was a victim of her time more than anything else. Explore the life of
the young queen whose name will forever be linked with the bloodiest
period in her nation's history.
