Blog Assignment #12-M.Antoinette

Blog # 12:Marie Antoinette was the Queen of Hungary and Bohemia. Her father and mother were Empress Maria Theresa and Francis 1.Her husband was Louis XVI of France; they were married by proxy. Her full name was Maria Antonia  Josephia Johanna. She was very talented, she could play numerous instruments ,and she could sing.

                 Marie Antoinette let her kingdom starve and die in the front gates of her palace. She was executed because of the French revolution, which no Queen or King can do what Marie Antoinette did. She was executed by guillotine on October 16, 1793, because of treason. She reigned May 10, 1774 - September 21, 1792 with her husband King Louis XVI. She was called the Widow Capet because of her husbands execution 9 months before hers.

               I think that Marie Antoinette was a little selfish when she didn’t help her kingdom that was dying .I also couldn’t blame Marie Antoinette because where she lived was beautiful. Also I know i wouldn’t want to be outside of her palace when there are people dying in the front gates of it . I feel sad for her life because she has had many deaths in her family. I do think that Marie Antoinette was spoiled a lot all of her life .
