I assume you meant the executions - perhaps you meant their marriage? It was a lengthy affair, beginning with the betrothal and then the marriage in front of the court at Versailles:

even as Louis became topped, he inherited a kingdom very nearly bankrupt thanks too this is previous rulers. once Louis grew to develop into king, the monetary equipment in ordinary words spiraled down extra. Then, Louis married a foreigner, Marie Antionette, an austrian woman. This angered the french noticeably, and they blamed many issues on her. "In 1788, Louis became compelled to reinstate France's nationwide assembly (the Estates-standard) which right now curtailed the king's powers." He tried to flee imprisonment, even as Paris Mobs stormed the Bastille. yet he became stuck and presented to trial. Marie A. became also commonly used for her ridiculous spending habbits, and competition to reforms. also, George Danton became a French Revolutionist, so he hostile the King and Queen very much. because ok.L. and M.A. were attempting to dodge France from a revolution, Danton felt the alternative.

During french revolution (1789) so the 18th century...
Louis XVI and marie Antoinette were both executated (guillotine) because they were symbols of the ancient regime (royalty) that the revolution wanted to destroy...
Ironic when you know that roylaty came back after... for a little time but it came back and then Napoleon Bonaparte, a great great dictator who was worst than the kings...
