Marie Antoinette: her worst moments (other than getting her head chopped off)
Podcast:The Backstory with Patty Steele Published On: Fri Oct 06 2023 Description: Marie Antoinette, the last queen before the French revolution, has a pretty bad rap. Falsely accused of the infamous “let them eat cake” quote, she was given to the French king in a political deal, stripped naked in front of the king’s advisors at 14 before her wedding, and massively attacked by both pro-royalists and revolutionaries before facing the guillotine at 37. Lots of riches, but not an easy life. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
