Marie Antoinette was Austrian. She was the daughter of the Empress of Austria.
Her parents planned for her to marry into another noble family. It was the lot of all princesses at the time.
She had little interest in education. In fact, her French was pretty bad when she was first engaged to the future king of France and it frightened her family. She was very interested in music, dance and theatre, however.
She traveled to France when she was 14.
She, again, was very much into music, dance, theatre, and entertainments of all sorts. Fashion as well.
Marie drove her Austrian family crazy with her lack of serious attention to their requests. She was more interested in being a teenager with a huge treasury at her disposal.
She lived a life of excess. Lots of clothes, lots of partying, lots of gambling. It was more the cost of her amusements that got her into trouble. She also had some pretty snarky friends who weren't very popular.
The diamond necklace affair was a debaucle. She was promised a necklace that she didn't really want, but she wasn't emphatic enough in turning it down, so it was created, and she refused to receive it, and therefore she didn't pay for it, and it became quite the scandal. It happened at a time when the French Royal Court was supposed to be tightening its purse strings, and it looked as thought she was attempting to cover up a major purchase. Eventually it all came out that she never did receive it, and that some imposter had taken part in the order, and it made her and her advisors look very foolish.

Instead of trying to bribe others to do your paper for you , you could spend your time more productively doing some research either on the net or in your school library.

HINT: Do your own research and learn something. Don't expect others to do your work for you.
