From the palaces of Austria to the mirrored halls of Versailles,
Marie Antoinette led a charmed life. She was born into royalty in
1755 and married the future king of France at age 15. By 21 she
ascended to the throne and enjoyed a lavish lifestyle of masquerade
balls, sky-high wigs, and extravagant food. But her taste for
excess ruffled many feathers. The poor people of France blamed
Marie Antoinette for their poverty. Her spending helped incite the
French Revolution. And after much public outcry, in 1793 she quite
literally lost her head because of it. Whether she was blameless or
guilty is debatable, but Marie Antoinette remains woven into the
fabric of history and popular culture. Series Overview: A series of
illustrated biographies for young readers featuring significant
historical figures, including artists, scientists, and world
leaders.
