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.

She was guillotined by the citizens of France (her husband too) at the end of the french revolution. But there are some debates about weather her son really died or not, every so often someone pops up claiming to be his descendant and tries to take the palace of Versailles.

She died because of a doctor.
She was beheaded on the guillotine, an instrument named after its inventor, who was a doctor.
He had made this invention to make executions less inhumane, just as later executions by electricity or poison.
To Anria A: To be precise, you should call Anne Boleyn "one of the wifes of King Henry VIII", because whenever this king wanted another wife and found no way out of his marriage, that woman was killed.

She was executed shortly after her husband, King Louis XVI.
On the day of the execution she had her hair cut short, to embarrass her, and then she was taken on a open cart to the guillotine to allow people to trow rotten food at her and shout insults at her. She then had her head chopped of in front of the crowd.
I wax replica of her and the kings heads is still on show at Madame Tussuad's (UK) today.
