Marie-Antoinette |

| Marie-Antoinette was the queen of France who died on the guillotine in 1793 during the French Revolution. Her lavish life-style made her unpopular. Paying no attention to her country’s financial crisis, she refused to make any concessions to hungry mobs who marched on the palace in Versailles. Instead, she called out troops. Violence followed, and she and her husband, King Louis XVI, were imprisoned by revolutionaries and later executed. | ||||||
