Marie Antoinette was born in Austria; she was the daughter of Francis I, Holy Roman Emperor, and Austrian Empress Maria Theresa. She was born on the same day as the famous earthquake of Lisbon. Marie also known has Mary Antoine. She was the youngest daughter of Francis I, Holy Roman Emperor, and Maria Theresa, Queen of Hungary and Bohemia, and ruler of the Habsburg dominions. Marie had five brothers brother. And she was a queen of France.
Marie Antoinette was known for saying ‘let them eat cake. The people on the other side of her gates where really poor and begging for food and water. Marie really did not care about them at all. While then peasants starved she was not that bad she helped feed the poor with her own money. But it was too late to save the people. The French Revolution took everything from her.
Marie was an unpopular queen. Because she was a foreigner, an Austrian. This drew criticism from the village. And not a lot of people like her as the Queen.
My thought on her life was ok she had a decent life just like everybody else. But she lived in a huge house.
