Maria Antonia Josepha Johanna von Habsburg-Lothringen (November 2, 1755 October 16, 1793), known to history as
Marie Antoinette (
pronounced /ma?i ??ntwan?t/), was born an
Archduchess of Austria and later became
Queen of France and
Navarre. At fourteen, she was married to
Louis-Auguste,
Dauphin of France, the future
Louis XVI. She was the mother of
Louis XVII, who died in the Temple Tower at the age of ten during the French Revolution. Marie Antoinette is perhaps best remembered for her legendary (and, some modern historians say,
[specify] 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.
