Maria Antonia Josepha Johanna von Habsburg-Lothringen (November 2, 1755 - October 16, 1793), known to history as Marie Antoinette , was born an Archduchess of Austria and later became Queen of France and Navarre. At fourteen, she was married to Louis-Auguste, Dauphin of France, the future Louis XVI. She was the mother of Louis XVII, who died in the Temple Tower at the age of ten during the French Revolution. Marie Antoinette is perhaps best remembered for her legendary (and, some modern historians say[specify], exaggerated) excesses and for her death: she was executed by guillotine at the height of the French Revolution in 1793 for the crime of treason. There are several populary cited anecdotes from Marie Antoinette's life: Seven-year-old Mozart declared he would marry the Archduchess Maria Antonia upon seeing her during his performances at the Laxenburg Palace and Schönbrunn. There is little evidence that he ever said it, though it would have been in character for him; instead, it's documented that he leaped on Empress Maria Theresa's lap and demanded a kiss, which was given. The queen was a drinker, much like her husband. While the king drank (though not as much as the libelles made out), the queen herself only rarely if ever drank, preferring instead to drink specially-ordered water from Ville d'Avray.
YummyLeaf rated 11 months ago- Maria Antonia Josefa Johanna von Habsburg-Lothringen (November 2, 1755 - October 16, 1793), known to history as Marie Antoinette (pronounced /mari? ?nt?wan?t?/), was born an Archduchess of Austria, and later became Queen of France and Navarre. She was married to Louis XVI of France at age 15, and was the mother of "lost Dauphin" Louis XVII. Marie Antoinette is perhaps best remembered for her legendary (and, some modern historians say, exaggerated) excesses, and for her death: she was executed by guillotine at the height of the French Revolution in 1793, for the crime of treason. It was alleged during her lifetime that she was a lesbian, but there is no proof to these claims whatsoever
