Maria Antoaneta

Maria Antoaneta, born on November 2, 1755, in Vienna, was the daughter of Empress Maria Theresa of Austria and sister of Emperor Joseph II. At the age of 15, she married Louis XVI of France, becoming the Queen of France. Known for her extravagant lifestyle and fascination with music and dance, Maria Antoaneta faced growing public discontent during her reign. Her position became increasingly precarious, leading to her execution by guillotine during the French Revolution on October 16, 1793, under accusations of treason.
