Language - Whether she was blameless or guilty is debatable, but Marie Antoinette remains woven into the fabric of history and popular culture. And after much public outcry, in 1793 she quite literally lost her head because of it. From the palaces of Austria to the mirrored halls of Versailles, Marie Antoinette led a charmed life. ISBN - 9780364718681 Antonia Fraser examines her influence over the king, Louis XVI, the accusations and sexual slurs made against her, her patronage of the arts which enhanced French cultural life, her imprisonment, the death threats made against her, rumours of lesbian affairs, her trial (during which her young son was forced to testify to sexual abuse by his mother) and her eventual execution by guillotine in 1793. Her spending helped incite the French Revolution. Page Count - Publisher - Page Count - 300

. It felt at points that you were her friend, ally, one of her Society.
Finished Marie Attoinette The Journey I cried at the end because you do go on her journey from princess to Queen of France. The heart breaking final letter never given to her children and sister in law. It was duty which stopped her.
The idiotic decisions Louis XVI made which lead to the revolution, the Reign of terror. Leave!
him being the reason her escape failed. She was scapegoated for everything!
She was a brave brilliant woman who I will always admire and remember on 16th of October 🎀 . You and your children are in grave danger!
Her cold mother, Louis XVI was not a good king. It was like I was walking in her shoes.
I found myself shouting at points Run! Horrors of the revolution.
