Marie Antoinette was the last queen of France before the French Revolution. Born in 1755 in Vienna, she was the daughter of the Holy Roman Emperor Francis I. At just 14 years old, she married Louis XVI to strengthen the alliance between Austria and France. Known for her extravagant lifestyle, she became a symbol of the excesses of the monarchy. As the revolution began, many people blamed her for France's financial troubles. In 1793, she was arrested and eventually executed by guillotine. Despite her controversial legacy, Marie Antoinette remains a fascinating figure in history, representing both the opulence and downfall of the French monarchy.
