The problem with thinking the revolution being 'inhumane' because they killed her is very one-sided. Think of all the children who died of starvation. The nobility might have been out of touch with their people, or simply didn't care. Either way, it is their duty to know - therefore, it is their fault.
I mean God All Mighty. All the revolution for what? all the blood? they replace one ruler for another. They screamed against religion but at the end nobody wanted their irrationality (too much for the reason godess ha?); that is what mankind do without the Creator. I am positive that Christians (real ones, not religious catholics) they respect all authority (obeying the comandment of the Scriptures) but protesting the corruption.

The revolution was good. It meant France (and later the rest of Europe) left the shackles of feudal rule behind them and became the continent that enjoy freedom today.

Truth be known, the royal couple were huge contributors to charities to the poor. In a retrial of the couple a few years ago they were found innocent and would have been freed. Also the quote "If they have no bread, let them eat cake" was actually made by one of the mistresses of Louis XIV, not Marie Antoinette.
Their charity was minimal, and was a case of trying to plaster a major wound that needed serious surgery and life saving measures. Their whole system was out-of-date and NOT in line what the new free thinking and equal rights to the people the revolution brought forward.
Also, you're completely wrong about them being found innocent later. Concrete evidence appeared later which showed that they co-operated with foreign powers to try and overthrow the French Republic
je vous l'accorde, c'était quelque peu barbare de le guillotiner, lui et sa famille, mais faut se replacer dans le contexte, c'était pas tout bleu et rose à l'époque. Surtout quand on sait que le propre cousin de Louis XVI a soutenu les révolutionnaires...
DDHC. Mais les parlementaires ne voulaient pas destituer le roi, ils voulaient simplement créer une monarchie parlementaire comme en UK, avec un parlement fort mais toujours soumis au roi qui dirige la politique de la nation. Louis XVI a accepté de se plier aux nouvelles "règles" posées par l'A.N(constituante) au départ mais a ensuite tenté de renverser la monarchie parlementaire vers 1791 avec l'aide des autres monarques d'Europe(menacés), d'où sa mise en accusation et son exécution.

i actualy went and saw her palace and where she was killed, it didn't look at all like in the video but almost identical to the movie marie antoinette
@AMermaidsTail That's because they filmed the movie in versaillee (not sure if thats spelled right!) but they filmed the movie where she lived, so that is why its similar :D haha
Interesting that the French Revolution was just like the beginning of the Soviet Union. Both were created by power-hungry miscreants, both murdered thousands of innocent people.
I fully support her, Hillary, Pelosi and many other strong women who have risen above the glass ceiling of the world and chosen to lead us. We need more leaders like them. I pray for you in heaven Marie.
btw im not saying this whole thing is marie antoinette's fault because it isnt fully! She was disregarted as a woman to make any real decision and she was just the easiest person to lay all the blame on! I feel so sorry for her and her poor children :( RIP
@Starnutente how! think of all these poor french people who starved because of the monarchs who ha no choice but to rule their country. They didnt rule because they where amazing politicians no they ruled because they came froma long lined of "aristographic" intermarriges. . . King Louis and Marie A where very young. It was all ridiculous, at least we have a slight say in what we want to happen in our countries with democracy without having to pay for our kings and queens lesure.
@stoneoffarel Of course I do not deny the faults of the Ancient Regime, I merely say that the "remedy" was bad. The "Terror" was a cruel blood - bath, the war against Vandea an atrocity, Illuminism was employed as weapon against Christianity. In the long term, Revolution caused nationalisms and troubles throughout Europe.
@lebkha Well, thousands of unfortunate peasants were hanged for so little at those remote times...And nobody made a film of them, we barely know their names!
@wollin20 So, my compassion for her end is sincere, yet I can't accept priviledging her suffering over other injustices which happened...and still happen everyday. Nobility is bullshit! She was certainly more educated, refined than most executed persons, but she was born to receive this education freely, with many servants working for her, and made little use of it: She is certainly not famous for her deeds but for her rank...So, for me, she is one infortunate person among too many.
@wollin20 well I know that and their stories make me sad but their blood were not shed by the Queen MA; she was not the devil and she died as a martyr, she was portrayed so hideously in purpose and blamed for things she didn't do. RIP your royal majesty QMA
@lebkha Well I am french and I'll tell you have no regret about what happened. The people of France showed the world they were done being stepped on by people, who assumed that, because they were born in a good family, diserved a better treatment. I am not sure you realize how much these people suffered. They had no money, no food, no right, no access to medication or to leisure. Louis XIV was a great king, Louis XVI dishonnered the country
@Ant3na I agree with you on some points here but her majesty was not responsible in any way of the maltreatment of the french people she was forced to leave her home and go to france and to marry the ere to the throne at age of 14!!! what would you expect from a child? then she was hated and fought against from the french court down to the french people because of her real nationality, her royal deed was to give birth to an ere and that's it, she didn't rule nor was responsible on government!
I am French and this story is sad but.. People have to know that the French still are a Great People and will have forever and ever this pride in the bottom of the heart, when you touch their pride when you touch their food when you touch their conditions of life........how to forget this eternal and still nowadays sort of canyon between government and real french people who suffer all the time....our government steal our history all the time, we are sad to see that ..we are judged cos of all it
Well 2 things here. MA was a bystander to history. She could've done a lot of things like trying to save the country from disaster instead of playing with dolls and acting like lil bo peep. See what Queen Elizabeth the First did. If you want a portrait of a strong, intelligent monarch who got things done try her or Catherine the Great or even Maria Theresa of Austria. 2nd. Everyone nation has a ruling elite--in China it's the Beijing Politburo and in America it's the CIA. Get used to it.
The revolution stopped being about freedom the minute they started killing people, even aristocrats. She and her fellow aristocrats might have had jewels and gowns, but they were still human.
@TheNuharoo I absolutely love your comment, because its true. Unfortunately, most people who starts revolution are full of hatred, resent and greed and use the ignorance and misery of the poor to obtain the things they criticize and condemn others for. Look at communism and dictators, once they get the power they become even greeder and far more cruel than the ones they ''freed'' people from. Society is so fucked up they seem to hate the rich more than murderers and child rapers!
Exactly and that is why it failed! The King was no threat to them and all they had to do was end up forcing him into a constitutional position and at worst, force Antoinette into a convent and marry him to a French woman. Then I am sure that things would have been averted, but go figure, the idiots butchered the harmless King and Queen adn then started murdering anyone they could get their hands on.
@TheNuharoo I'm sorry, but that's dead wrong. The monarchy had strong, familial relations with at least major European powers that had vowed in two separate military documents to destroy the French republic and reinstall the monarchy at any cost. The nobility had hired foreign soldiers with the intention of killing and suppressing their freedoms. While killing is wrong, killing the nobility was a necessary cost. The nobility were monsters responsible for the starvation of their people.
I agree with you on America being no more moral than the monarchies. My point wasn't to elevate myself and the country I live in. My point is that monarchs are dictators and act as irresponsibly as any oil baron or Soviet komissar. Antoinette never said "let them eat cake". But the phrase was emblematic of the ignorance and indifference kings and queens had for their subjects. Their fame is based entirely on fortune. MA was a pampered little puppy. Neither heroine nor martyr but a bystander.
@perdondaris The Republic government nowadays like the ones that just got overthrown in the middle east are no better. do you think that the people in your government really give a crap about you? well no they don't. same thing here
The movie is "L'autrichienne" (the austrian woman), by Pierre Granier-Deferre, with Ute Lemper as Marie-Antoinette. It talks about her trial with flasbacks of her life. Very good movie, historically.
i kind of think its quite stupid when she got the charge of having sex with her 7 year old son, that is when everyone started to have a little pitty for her. not a lot, but a little.. they felt bad because of the charge. but they didn't feel bad when everything else happened..
Very sad indeed very much!!!!! the thing is she never new the suffering of her people cuz she was young still a little girl... till it was too late... in her eyes i guess she knew wats the worst to come... so she took wats best sacrifice her life for her country... ahe was beheaded wat a way to die omg... very sad
Since childhood nobilities has been educated and prepared for their forthcoming reign. So the blame should not be their sole responsibility, they have advisers, and these advisers (elders) played big roles on kings and queens reign. It seems that only the bad side of Mary Antoinette has been magnified here, how about the good deeds she has done
She did herself no favours by urging Louis to go against the revolution and telling the Austrians of France miltarys plans during the war. If the royal family had just accepted reform, the revolution could have stopped at a constitutional monarchy.
The execution of the Bourbon King and Queen was a gross overeaction barbaric and sacrilegeous....France has never fully recovered in their inability to govern themselves.
Maria Antonietta was not a queen very loved by the french people. She always has been far from the problems of ordinary citizens. Why cry for someone like her? I weep for millions of unknown deaths in wars desired by the powerful of all time.

nothing special or important.

I just stuck my hand into vamps underware like a gentleman and what I found were some big balls.For who is wondering why I'm using those pictures is because I'm sick and tired to have the vamp talking shit and pretending that is somebody she is not...
@POTCMarc101 Think again. Bonaparte despised Marie Antoinette(and the monarchy, don't forget he was a genral under the revolution) and even refused to greet her close friend, Count Axel von Fersen, even though the was a swedish diplomat and protocol demanded it..
SO YOU REALLY THINK IT HAPPENED THIS WAY ? YOU REALLY BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE DEPICTED THIS WAY? SENTIMENTALLY ? IF YOU RELY ON MOVIES TO UNDERSTAND EXTREMELY COMPLEX EVENTS YOU SHOULD WATCH THE FRENCH ADAPTATION OF IT (also on Youtube in 31 sequences ) WITH NO "MELO" POP SONGS ON CRUCIAL SCENES !
good riddance to Marie Antoinette, sadistic bitch. we have an aristocratic privileged class of 21st century, as obscenely twisted as 18th century ...they stay in 6-STAR hotels!
...5-STAR Royal luxury hotels where celebrities love to stay, is sub-par (meh??!)
they need pampering beyond Royalty ...god-like pampering, 6-STAR Mount Olympus ...on the blood, sweat, tears & agonizing pain of struggling homeowners 2008-11 evicted
...it's why i strongly advocate the return of the Guillotine!
@VampiressOnDaProwlq i actually read a book about marie Antoinette and a lot of what she suppsidly said she didnt/ It was actually from Louis the 14th.
...it's why i strongly advocate the return of the Guillotine!
the death penalty? then you would be no different than a libertarian nazi. a lot of them would love to bring backthe guillotine and execute people like us. Its also against the 8th amendment of the constitution advocating cruel and unusual punishment.
i didnt say she said what's assigned to her by hearsay. i'm aware she didnt say some of what's attributed to her. but she said some twisted things and her actions (and inactions) were far worse than talk.
i'm ordinarily not for death penalty but in extreme revolutionary times under mass catastrophic poverty, agonizing suffering and rampant lawlessness, sometimes necessary, like the French Revolution.
oh geez, you misunderstand lol. why antagonistic? listening to lies from my enemies?
Nazi racist genetic reasons = execution of non-Alpha intellectuals with inherited illness seen as genetically "inferior weaklings/useless eaters" draining resources from "the Strong" healthy "successful producers" who deserve to live.
disabled are seen as reckless/promiscuous/garbage or flawed from generations of ethnic mixing (it's their fault they got sick despite illnesses not being STDs)
dont let yourself be seduced to sympathy for Marie Antoinette. it's a deliberate entrance to persuade you to gradually develop sympathy for the very Rich, supportive for Tax cuts (Tax Spending) for the Top 1%.
they're trying to manufacture sympathy for the Rich, through feeling sad for Marie Antoinette, the "persecuted" French monarchy families and obscenely extravagant Aristocratic "victims". they used same technique for decades after the French Revolution, telling sad stories lol
@VampiressOnDaProwlq few Aristocrats were compassionate and very disturbed by brutal oppression/exploitation of peasants.
You know what bothers me? The Marquis Desade was one of them. I mean I dont hate him but that guy even for today's standards goes overboard. But good for him anyway for being on the right side. I think he was the one who helped incite the Bastile uprising too.
Marie-Antoinette is my idol. What a woman. 100% noble. 100% human. No one can judge another human being. We are all the children of God and He will be our judge. I do not think it is fair or just to create "freedom" by forcing others to step aside. It does not matter if they are rich or not. It is up to your self to make a change within yourself and be kind to others. Don't judge, Jesus would never do that <3
@LaCygneEstelle You are truly insane! You don't think it is just to create "freedom" by forcing others to step aside? How else in God's name will it be achieved? So the Syrians who at this very moment are being tortured and murdered by that Dictator Asad should just make a change within themselves? I pray that you are no older than 12 yrs with such ridiculous and childish thinking. In the real world, people must demand their freedoms, and rid themselves of any person/government that rejects.
@goodgirlkay Am I insane? Oh, I did not know it was polite to speak in such a matter to anyone. I apologize if I have offended you, but I do feel I have said nothing wrong. I still believe that God is the rightful judge of us all, Christians or atheists or any kind of creed you belong to. I was just meaning that a lot of people who are suffering are all seen and loved by God and He will let justice come to those who are innocent. Perhaps I do not make myself clear but I do not mean any harm.
She was a naivette put in the role that wasn't suited for her in the first place. She knew nothing of politics, but ignorance of nobles towards the needs of common people eventually put her in the position of no return. This is what happens when kings are chosen by blood and not by skills. Still, the revolution itself turne dout to be a terror no less than the old regime was. She meant no harm to anyone. I applaud her because she died with dignity. May she rest in peace.
@spartiataeos it's not that she didn't know about politics...in that time, the wife of someone in a high state of power (king, duke, baron, etc...) was expected to be involved in politics. Louis XVI did not allow her to be incorporated in the political affairs. Also explains why she was ridiculed so harshly about it, because frankly, she didn't know the extent that was going on and people from that time assumed she was well briefed like she should have been.
@spartiataeos the role wasn't suited for her? she was born into that kind of life thanks to her mother being a queen in france does not require any kind of knowlege, she meant no harm to anybody? ha ha thats funny she put innocent people in prison because she didn't want to own up to the things she did. which was spend all the money she got from the french people's taxes and spending it on bullshit. she was very well suited spoiled brat
@lilkush909 No, it wasn't. Having a queen mother and being born a princess doesn't make you a politician/leader in any way. Spoiled and clueless yes, but that goes for most of the European nobility.And even her enemies admit she was rather ignorant than intentionally evil, and that she had showed true courage even after she lost her son and got humiliated by that idiot Hebert when he accused her of incest. She was a scapegoat for all the things that her predecessors did. Read some HISTORY.
@spartiataeos Actually she was set up by jealous liberal politicians, and racial french people.
She spent her own families wealth, not the publics and there's tones of evidence that support my claims and there's no question of the racial tension to Marie and jealousy from politicians.
The politicians proved a failure thoug, didn't they? just typical power freaks.
Stop blaming or aggrandizing historical characters or events. Just try to understand them. Sometimes we can't even understand what is going on at our own home, in our own lives. It is impossible to judge the past. Just understand, learn and move on! Otherwise we will be part of the history you don't really like.
fucking tyrant! Robespierre,mar rat,David, these are the few people behind the revolution..they poisoned the mind of the poor..accused the king and queen...fuck them all!
the people behind the french revolution,, think they acting in there own best interest and many cases think they acting in the best interest of there country can end up killing so many people and in many cases ending up killing them selves......
after a more than 100,00O lives lost a decade of suffering And WAR,France went from one supreme ruler(LouisXVI) TO ANOTHER(NAPOLEON),,WHICH BECAME WORST and end up killing so many people....
if the king and queen were killed without any scruples the revolution would not be there. was first directed to stop. you're French but you should stop laughing and start to study the history of your people.
p.s. Salic law: ... the queen had no political power of any kind ... The king was to govern
in a way i feel bad for marie antoinette. Maybe i havent learned enugh about the french revo/reign of terror but there really isnt much she can do she cant reduce taxes or give large amounts of food out to her people. she really didnt know what was going on as well as louie did. Percieve it any way you want but she said 'Let them Eat their cake" thinking that everyone was as rich as her and could eat all that they wanted. this life was forced on her IMHO
@Gruedo77 Marie Antoinette never said "Let them eat cake". That was an old accusation that people would use against certain aristocratic women from time to time. They accused other women before Marie Antoinette of saying the very same thing. It is just a myth, she never said that!
@goodgirlkay Perhaps but it does perfectly express just how out of touch the nobility was: they were living in posh luxury while their people were living in squalor all around them. Marie Antoinette even had a disneyfied "peasant village" built that she would visit when she wanted to get away from palace life. I can see why the real peasants were angry about that sort of thing.
@MrClickity Marie Antionette was 14 when she came to France, and she had no clue what was going on.
Her life was spent behind closed walls. Her husband was not very bright, and could not lead.
She heard of the struggles through her brother who reprimanded her for her spending, but she was still just a young girl. After, realizing, she dressed lessed extravagantly.
@g33kthegirl He ascribes these words2 an unknown princess,vaguely referred2 as a 'gr8 princess',there is the thought he invented it altogether seeing as "Confessions" was on the whole,an inaccurate bio.
@RomancerHabboNL Although Rousseau ascribes these words2 an unknown princess,vaguely referred 2as a 'great princess',there is the thought he invented it altogether seeing as Confessions was on the whole,an inaccurate bio.
@EvoShomar No she never said that. Read her biography by the historian Antonia Frasier, it is a lie! Marie Antoinette was libeled by the French press of the day. She was frivolous, but she wasn't callous or stupid enough to say something like that.
This is what happens when children are unexpectedly put in charge. Children can't run ANY country. That being said, I've always been intrigued by Marie Antoinette.
She had very little politcal power for most of her reign, most all of the rumours about her had little or no evidence behind them & yes she gambled & spent frivolously but as a distraction, many of her spends were modest compared to that of previous royals. As the king became less able, she took a greater role in politics, trying to lessen the spending of the royals.
I think her last words are a testament to her "Pardon me sir, I did not mean to do it" (she stepped on the executioners foot)
She was not a bad queen but far fro a good one .. she wasn't a pure French lady she didn't know what's happening to the people out there . Like many of the public governments right now . they en intend to convince to the president that his people are better than what they were before him .. it's the same .. she was just a queen an elegant lady that is not responsible enough of being a real queen but the film is great :)
porque nunca nadie hizo lo mismo con la zorra de la reina de inglaterra la actual vieja monarca que vive de los ingleses, que asco, muerte a las familias reales europeas,
I think Marie was not prepared for the position of being Queen, which I think, majority of it is of no fault of her own. She was the youngest, I believe out of all her brothers and sisters, and so there for she was not thought of as one to rule a nation. She was just going to be the pretty wife of SOMEONE. And, others would take care of the particulars. That was her downfall, she was not intelligent enough to think outside of the box she had been placed in to, and the mindset that was given.
@Indiegirl007 Marie Antoinette was indeed an intelligent woman, but she was immature and like you said just not prepared for being queen. Not to mention the fact that she wasn't allowed to assist in politics anyhow. She was kept out of the loop for years, so she just partied.
By the time she decided she wanted to defy her husband and others and find out what the hell was going on in France, it was far too late.
I don't understand how people expected her to be such a good queen...I mean, she was a teenager, for christ's sakes...i know i couldn't rule a country right now...lol
@inlovewithmgmt Back then by the age of 15 a woman was considered full grown, got married and had children. It was not like it is today. There weren't any years where you just got to be a carefree young lady. You went from childhood to adulthood very quickly. Because life expectancy wasn't very long, and by forty you are a grandma or great grandma, by 50 you're probably already dead.
@goodgirlkay I know that she would have been "considered" full grown, but the fact is that she wasn't. I know why it all happened -- things were different back then, as you said. But I just can't imagine the pressures of an entire country on her shoulders when she had only been on the earth for like, 14 years! Of course she's going to screw up, and care about material things etc etc.
beautiful song..

They didnt rule because they where amazing politicians no they ruled because they came froma long lined of "aristographic" intermarriges. . . King Louis and Marie A where very young. It was all ridiculous, at least we have a slight say in what we want to happen in our countries with democracy without having to pay for our kings and queens lesure.

@stoneoffarel Of course I do not deny the faults of the Ancient Regime, I merely say that the "remedy" was bad. The "Terror" was a cruel blood - bath, the war against Vandea an atrocity, Illuminism was employed as weapon against Christianity. In the long term, Revolution caused nationalisms and troubles throughout Europe.

She was certainly more educated, refined than most executed persons, but she was born to receive this education freely, with many servants working for her, and made little use of it: She is certainly not famous for her deeds but for her rank...So, for me, she is one infortunate person among too many.

Exactly and that is why it failed! The King was no threat to them and all they had to do was end up forcing him into a constitutional position and at worst, force Antoinette into a convent and marry him to a French woman. Then I am sure that things would have been averted, but go figure, the idiots butchered the harmless King and Queen adn then started murdering anyone they could get their hands on.
TheNuharoo 2 weeks ago
@TheNuharoo I'm sorry, but that's dead wrong. The monarchy had strong, familial relations with at least major European powers that had vowed in two separate military documents to destroy the French republic and reinstall the monarchy at any cost. The nobility had hired foreign soldiers with the intention of killing and suppressing their freedoms. While killing is wrong, killing the nobility was a necessary cost. The nobility were monsters responsible for the starvation of their people.

I agree with you on America being no more moral than the monarchies. My point wasn't to elevate myself and the country I live in. My point is that monarchs are dictators and act as irresponsibly as any oil baron or Soviet komissar. Antoinette never said "let them eat cake". But the phrase was emblematic of the ignorance and indifference kings and queens had for their subjects. Their fame is based entirely on fortune. MA was a pampered little puppy. Neither heroine nor martyr but a bystander.

they're trying to manufacture sympathy for the Rich, through feeling sad for Marie Antoinette, the "persecuted" French monarchy families and obscenely extravagant Aristocratic "victims". they used same technique for decades after the French Revolution, telling sad stories lol

yes a few nobility were good, not twisted/sadistic.

but they were gems, not the norm.
they dont represent the sick essence of the Aristocratic lifestyle.

@spartiataeos it's not that she didn't know about politics...in that time, the wife of someone in a high state of power (king, duke, baron, etc...) was expected to be involved in politics.

Also explains why she was ridiculed so harshly about it, because frankly, she didn't know the extent that was going on and people from that time assumed she was well briefed like she should have been.

She had very little politcal power for most of her reign, most all of the rumours about her had little or no evidence behind them & yes she gambled & spent frivolously but as a distraction, many of her spends were modest compared to that of previous royals. As the king became less able, she took a greater role in politics, trying to lessen the spending of the royals.
I think her last words are a testament to her "Pardon me sir, I did not mean to do it" (she stepped on the executioners foot)

I think Marie was not prepared for the position of being Queen, which I think, majority of it is of no fault of her own. She was the youngest, I believe out of all her brothers and sisters, and so there for she was not thought of as one to rule a nation. She was just going to be the pretty wife of SOMEONE. And, others would take care of the particulars. That was her downfall, she was not intelligent enough to think outside of the box she had been placed in to, and the mindset that was given.

@Indiegirl007 Marie Antoinette was indeed an intelligent woman, but she was immature and like you said just not prepared for being queen. Not to mention the fact that she wasn't allowed to assist in politics anyhow. She was kept out of the loop for years, so she just partied.
By the time she decided she wanted to defy her husband and others and find out what the hell was going on in France, it was far too late.

@inlovewithmgmt Back then by the age of 15 a woman was considered full grown, got married and had children. It was not like it is today. There weren't any years where you just got to be a carefree young lady. You went from childhood to adulthood very quickly. Because life expectancy wasn't very long, and by forty you are a grandma or great grandma, by 50 you're probably already dead.

@goodgirlkay I know that she would have been "considered" full grown, but the fact is that she wasn't. I know why it all happened -- things were different back then, as you said. But I just can't imagine the pressures of an entire country on her shoulders when she had only been on the earth for like, 14 years! Of course she's going to screw up, and care about material things etc etc.
