Most all of us know who she is and is famous for her wild behavior such as once she told the one's beneath her "Let them eat cake" when they had no bread. I absolutely adore her for some reason. I believe it's because she loved to live the life of pleasure and extravagance.
Marie was born in Austria and married at the age of 15 in 1770 to Louis-Auguste during the french revolution. Her marriage remained unconsummated for 7 years. Yes- 7 years Can you believe that? She was execute for treason by guillotine which is a device used to perform the execution.
...sigh... so beautiful and romantic...
ReplyDeleteI want that cottage...
Lovely cottage! and all that lace so sumptious!
ReplyDeleteMarie Antoinette fascinates me, too. She never said, "Let them eat cake," but that misquote typified her dismissal of her people. She was not prepared to be queen, really through no fault of her own.
ReplyDeleteRent or buy "Marie Antoinette" starring Kirsten Dunst. It was panned by the critics, but filmed at Versailles, and the settings, clothing and depiction of the lifestyle of Louis XVI and his queen are well-depicted. I hope you enjoy it.
