When Marie Antoinette was killed, did they kill her kids too??

Answer 1

No...not exaclty. Not by guillotine anyway.

On the night of July 3, 1793, commissioners arrived in the royal family's cell with instructions to separate Marie Antoinette's son from the rest of his family. He had been proclaimed Louis XVII by exiled royalists after his father's death. The republican government had therefore decided to imprison the eight-year-old child in solitary confinement. Louis flung himself into his mother's arms crying hysterically, and Marie Antoinette shielded him with her body, refusing to give him up. When the commissioners threatened to kill her if she did not hand the child over, she still refused to move. It was only when they threatened to kill Marie Thérèse that she came to realise how hopeless the situation was. Two hours after the commissioners had entered her room, the former Queen relinquished her son to them. They did not meet again; her son died in captivity in 1795.

She was brought to trial on October 14. When she entered the courtroom, most people were shocked at her appearance. She was emaciated, prematurely aged, exhausted and care-worn. Forty witnesses were called by the prosecution. They returned to the Affair of the Necklace or alleged that the queen had plied the Swiss Guard with alcohol during the siege of the palace.
The most horrific charges came when Hébert accused her of having sexually abused her own son. When the queen was pressed to answer this charge she replied, "If I have not replied it is because Nature itself refuses to respond to such a charge laid against a mother."

Answer 2

1. Did Antoinette really commit marital infidelity with a soldier? No. That was not proved. 2. How old were the couple when they were married, when Louis XVI was crowned and when they were guillotined? Marie Antoinette was 14 and Louis XVI was 16 when they were married. Louis XVI was 20 when he was crowned. Marie Antoinette was 37 and Louis XVI was 38 when they were executed. 3.) How did the French Revolution end? I know the monarchs were killed, but did they tried to run away? Did they flee? Or am I confusing this with the English Revolution... Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI did not try to run away. 4.) They had 4 children. The eldest named Marie Therese married Louis Antoine, Duke of Angouleme. They had no children. Louis Joseph died in June 4, 1789 at the age of 7 of returning fevers. Louis XVII died in June 8, 1785 at the age of 10. Sophie Helene Beatrice died in June 19, 1787. She died in Versailles after suffering five or six days of convulsions caused by the cutting of new teeth.

Answer 4

marie antoinette killed kill kids

Answer 5

Marie Antoinette had four children: Marie-Thérèse-Charlotte, Louis-Joseph (Dauphin born in 1781), Louis-Charles, Duke of Normandy in 1785 and Sophie-Béatrix in 1786.

Dauphin and Sophie-Beatrix both died very young. Marie-Therese was imprisoned with Marie Antoinette and was sent on exile after her execution. Louis-Charles was imprisoned below his sister. He stayed imprisoned until his death in 1795. He was tortured and was beaten everyday and eventually died from tuberculosis. So while they did not execute the children, you can say that indirectly they did kill one of them.

Answer 6

No.

Marie Antoinette and her son, Louis, were both held as prisoners (hostages?). Many French royalists proclaimed him Louis XVII, but he never reigned. She was executed on October 16, 1793. He died of tuberculosis on June 8, 1795 at the age of ten while in captivity.

The children were:
1) Marie-Thérèse-Charlotte of France, Duchesse d'Angoulême and Dauphine of France (19 December 1778 – 19 October 1851) who was the eldest child of King Louis XVI of France and his Austrian wife, Queen Marie Antoinette. It was only once the Reign of Terror subsided that Marie-Thérèse was allowed to leave France. She was taken to Vienna, where her cousin ruled as Emperor Francis II.
2) Louis-Joseph Xavier Francois (October 22, 1781-June 4, 1789) was the second child and first son of King Louis XVI of France and Queen Marie Antoinette. As the heir apparent to the French throne, he was called the dauphin. Louis-Joseph died at the age of seven of what was then known as "consumption" (tuberculosis).
3) Louis XVII (March 27, 1785 – June 8, 1795), from birth to 1789 known as Louis-Charles, Duke of Normandy; then from 1789 to 1791 as Louis-Charles, Dauphin of Viennois; and from 1791 to 1793 as Louis-Charles, Prince Royal of France. In 1793, while the royal family was being held at the Temple prison in Paris, Louis-Charles was separated from his mother and sister in order to dissuade any monarchist bids to free him. He remained imprisoned alone, a floor below his sister Marie-Thérèse, until his death in June 1795.

Answer 7

Ever hear of the Lost Dauphin - The heir apparent. No one knows for sure what happened to him.
