    one thing this misses is that marie tried to help the poor. even with her poor education, especially on economics and politics, she would listen to what the people were saying, established charities, donated generously, tried to create more well paying jobs, tried to make sure single mothers and their children were cared for, etc. she was a scapegoat forced into a doomed role.

    The queen did as good as she could and had managed to raise the quality of life in France. The usual group of black souls have condemned her by plotting its ruin. Thank you for allowing the truth to emerge. As you can see, she doesn't need to be a feminist who screams girl power - just do your part in your environment. If every woman did this all over the planet, these black souls would run away. The woman is scary when she lives in grace, because she becomes a protector of her own home and family and she does not allow anything or anyone to get in the way.

    Way back when, 10+ yrs ago, I was in 8th grade, we had to do a project on a famous villain in my GT class. I remember choosing Marie because I thought it would be fun to reverse the assignment on them. She is famously villainized by history when in reality, she was a victim of propaganda and slander. I just wanted to say that your video is literally everything I wanted my PowerPoint to be and more 😭 It’s so thorough and presents her as a human being instead of an abstract motif of self-indulgence and ignorant bliss that I think a lot of people envision.

The "elites" have been doing this for centuries and continue to do so today. History has always been written by the victors, not the victims - hopefully one day, the history books will be re-written to reveal the truth.

    Even from her death mask, you can see she was quite beautiful. I read a wonderful biography of her that was based on the weekly letters she wrote to her mother. It gave an incredible insight into court manoeuvrings and the prejudice and jealousy she faced. She and Louis were quite simple people, and highly unsuited to the role they were expected to play. A truly tragic story.

    Yes, but included in those letters were rather explicit passages detailing her intimate life with Louis XVI. While some may consider this to have lurid and inappropriate for a parent and child to discuss, it must be kept in mind that the ultimate marital goal of the daughter of the Empress of the Holy Roman and Austrian Empires bearing an unquestionable legit son +heir for the King of France made Louis and M.A.'s intimate life a literal matter of state. Thus, had Louis not had an operation to cure a painful growth that kept him from enjoying his marriage (and siring offspring) this could have resulted in an annulment and/or worsened international relations between the French and Austrian governments! Of course, when MA DID become pregnant and bore her children, so many court officials,clerics, in-laws,etc. crowded around her childbed that she fainted- not from the labor or birth itself but from the incredibly cramped and stuffy air that resulted from all these men gawking at her to make sure the Queen of France bore the next Dauphin and it was NOT a 'warming pan baby' smuggled in.

    I want everyone to know there is a “condition” that’s named after Marie called ”Marie Antoinette Syndrome” (or close to it) that is said to occur under extreme stress of both body and mind where your hair goes completely stark white/grey. This happened to her while she was imprisoned. Largely due to the rumors and horrors spread regarding falsities about neglect/s*xual abuse she did to her son (which were in no way true) that her son was forced to confirm under duress. Which I thought was horrific when I found out because she loved her kids and sucked that she was tormented to such a degree.

    Not so true. Louis XVI was not as compliant and shy as we despict him. Maybe as a young king, but he changed. He wanted his place, he didn't want to make concessions and he certainly didn't want to be a locksmith. Feels free to read the works of some historians (can't tell you who, I know some english speakers one are goods but I've read french's one).

    Since I was really young and first learned about her, I was always interested in Marie Antoinette. I read a bunch of historical fiction books about her or even anything that’d feature her as a character. For some reason, though, I always got such a caring, motherly feeling from her portraits and reconstructions. Her record of being compassionate, and her love for her children until the end… she’s almost like a historical mother figure to me, lol.

I saw the paintings and while I did think she looked relatively beautiful it's difficult to really determine that from a painting. I didn't expect her to look so lovely, and to look exactly as wide-eyed and pretty as I imagined. If she was as sweet and compassionate as she was described, she'd melt just about anyone's heart.

    The revolution, like all revolutions, was the result of the subversive actions of the nobles against the King (duke de Orleans played a significant role in the outbreak of the revolution). Until 1792 the proposed political system of the revolution was Constitutive Monarchy. The massacres that followed August 1792 were the result of Jacobin counter-revolt, that had nothing to do with the Constitution - it was exactly like the Bolshevik coup that abolished the liberal revolution in Russia. Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI were the victims of the Jacobin coup. That the "people" revolted for their freedom is a nice little democratic fairy tale. Revolutions need organization and , above all, money

    As an Austrian I always thought it's especially tragic that her mother Maria Theresia and her oldest brother who succeeded their mother reformed the empire in a way that benefitted the people and prevented a revolution in Austria, it was even felt that emperor Joseph II was too progressive for his time and some of his ideas went too far for the common people. Of course they couldn't interfere in France but maybe if they had been in a position to advise Marie Antoinette and Louis on politics things could have been different.

Just as a quick example, she was heavily criticized for spending so much money on such elaborate, expensive hair and clothing. She then later changed her style intentionally to a much more subdued, simple style that was way less expensive and everyone criticized her for “putting hundreds of dress makers out of business” since she wasn’t buying from them.

    Loved this!! I had heard about the quote of "Let them eat cake!"attributed to Marie Antoinette, but hearing that she didn't say that but it was still pinned on her is sad. I was so wrapped up in the history retelling that i forgot there was a recreation of her at the end haha. You guys should do Louis the Great next!! 🤩

    I’m so glad you enjoyed it! It is very sad how much got attributed to her. Not to say she was wholly innocent but I genuinely think she was very misunderstood.

    Your videos and recreations are so beautiful and really humanize these figures in such a special way that I think really vindicates them-we often forget that were just people like us and its easy to dismiss their humanity due to their legacies, whether fair and true or not. I sure they would be touched to be remembered this way. In a way, youre giving them back their lives and I think that’s amazing.

    *Bravo! Must say how impressed I am with the reconstructions* When we learn history at school it often feels somehow abstract or unreal, and it's all too easy to forget that these people were living, breathing human beings just like us. *This really made me realise how young Marie Antoinette was - seeing a realistic representation of what she looked like in life - to that soundtrack - was surprisingly emotional. I got tears in my eyes*

    This video addressed a few things I had been wondering about the creation of a likeness from a painting. 1) Possibly different physical features prevalent during that time 2) How much does the style of painting people possibly alter what they looked like in real life? I'm glad to see some of those questions considered here. I'm really enjoying watching these.

    I think they kind of filtered their paintings, to adjust features to what was fashionable, just as people do now. In paintings, it seems like everyone from earlier periods had exactly the same shaped eyes, and hairline etc...

    Well done. Showing or giving interpretations of a how historic figure may look adds a human dimension to them by making them realistic. It is one thing to read about them in history books, but it is quite another to imagine them as people. Marie was very beautiful lady who lived a sad short life.

    Fascinating story and your recreations are breath-taking. A lovely woman here- I've always felt a great sadness over what happened to her. What great talent, and what ability to use the newest tools of the trade. Marie is said to have aged many years during confinement and she was clearly not the same woman who became Queen so many years before. I only have one thing to add to the history here: 16:05 The dissolution of the monarchy paved the way for the Reign of Terror where large numbers of citizens were guillotined for not following to the "T" the commands of the revolutionaries Robespierre and Marat to force them to carry on the revolution's complete reversal of their French heritage, culture, and lives. The depletion of the population in the following years attests to how many didn't agree with all the totalitarian behaviors of the revolutionaries. Then, it led to the crowning of Emperor Napoleon 12 years later. At that time, Napoleon mustered the largest French army in history to go to the Caribbean islands to restart Slavery. "Free France" did not exist. Edmund Burke was a member of the British Parliament, he commented that while the French revolutionaries may have "subverted monarchy," they had not yet "recovered freedom". While discussing the differences between the American War of Independence and the French Revolution, Burke pointed out that, first, Americans did not reject, but fully embraced their English heritage, and second, the War for Independence was about the recovery of law and morality and was carried out in such a way that even members of the British government acknowledged the rationale behind it.

I was just watching another channel where it is said that Marie had a love for sweets - and had her own chocolatier. There was a medicine she didn’t like taking because of the taste, so she had a chocolate made with the medicine in it so it would taste delicious 🍫💝
