Infamous queen Marie Antoinette is said to be a very misunderstood girl in history (Covington). Marie enjoyed a life of luxury, as did many other queens did in history. But during her reign, the country of France had a failing economy. In any country if the economy is good, people generally believe that their leaders are great, but if the economy is bad then that’s when the people starts turning against their leaders. That poor economy that France faced had to be blamed on someone, which were blamed on Marie Antoinette. Marie Antoinette’s love of fashion has gotten her killed, but her love has kept her alive in the world of fashion.
Marie Antoinette was the 15th child to Empress Maria Theresa of Austria and Holy Roman Emperor Francis 1 (Castelot).
