Marie+Antoinette

Marie Antoinette

She was born in Austria in 1755. She married Louis XVI at the age of 14 and was the queen of France when she was still a teenager. As unfulfilling as her marriage was, she loved living an extravagant life. She constantly hosted grand feasts at Versailles for the rich aristocrats. In order to afford these parties, the crown taxed the poor who could hardly afford bread. She was sent to the guillotine as well on October 16, 1793. http://www.marie-antoinette.org/biography/biography_english/
