Answer 1

Keep surfing under the name Marie Antoinette, and you will find the answer to that question. Either that, or watch director Sofia Coppola's 21st century adaptation of her story in the film - 'Marie Antoinette.'

Answer 2

Well, yes. As the others have stated, Marie Antoinette was the wife of Louis the sixteenth of France. She was Austrian-born, got married at the age of 14 to Louis, XVI (then 16). She was famous as a beautiful Queen who couldn't concieve the King's child, though that was in the beginning, as the King was busy pursuing his other pleasures. She was unpopular due to her callousness. She is said to have made the statement, "Let them eat cakes if they have no bread." in regard of the poor of France for whom living was very expensive. However, she never made such a statement. She was a person who was beheaded by the guillotene as her unpopularity grew and her husband was beheaded too.

Answer 3

Marie Antoinette (German: Maria Antonia von Österreich; French: Marie Antoinette d'Autriche; November 2, 1755 – October 16, 1793), born Archduchess Maria Antonia of Austria (German: Erzherzogin Maria Antonia von Österreich), and later becoming Marie Antoinette, Queen of France and Navarre (French: Marie Antoinette, reine de France et de Navarre) (pronounced /mariː ɑnt̪wanɛt̪/), was the Queen consort of France, as the wife of Louis XVI. She was the daughter of the Holy Roman Emperor Francis I and Maria Theresa of Austria. She was married to Louis XVI at age 14, and was the mother of "the lost Dauphin" Louis XVII. 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.

Answer 4

She was MARIE (not, Mary) Antoinette, queen of France. After the French Revolution, she was beheaded at the guillotine still not understanding the reality of the oppression the nobility in France heaped upon the peasants.
