Marie-Antoinette was an Austrian princess
who was married to Louis, the future king of France, at the age of 14. In 1775,
her husband ascended the throne as Louis XVI.
Though initially popular with the
French public, the young queen became notorious for her lavish lifestyle and
claims that she controlled the king.
As the country lapsed into famine and
financial ruin, Marie-Antoinette’s extravagant spending contributed, albeit a
small amount, to the mounting national debt while wreaking havoc on her reputation.
When the revolutionary forces took control of the government and dismantled the
monarchy in 1792, the royal family was placed under house arrest.
Marie-Antoinette was tried by the Revolutionary Tribunal and guillotined in
October 1793, nine months after the execution of her husband.
I think it was a punishment a little too extreme to this young princess, she just wanted to be happy and unique.
what you guys think about it?
ahjahajhaa that was extreme i guess...

ReplyDeleteInteresting, a little history
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jair, currently still happening but the punishment is different (not to that extreme).
It's interesting the story of this lady, although I didn't like the movie. About the punishment, well in those days, that was the way to make "justice" work.
ReplyDeleteI think it's good to do justice in some cases, but on this occasion if it was way too extreme.
ReplyDeleteIt's a great article, yes I think it's an extrem punishment, know a days isn't usuall.
