When Marie Therese finally was allowed put of prison and to leave🇫🇷 Paris, she headed south towards Austria to go home. She stopped at an Inn owned by my ancestors in Village Neuf on the French border with Switzerland. She spent many nights there. The lore in my family recalls that she was an extremely timid, polite and humble girl. She even volunteered to do chores. The Inn ( my ancestors) kept it a secret she was staying there. They were so touched by her that they saved her pillow slip and a piece of hair. Until now, every generation in our family has a child named Marie-Therese or Therese-Marie.

Amazing videos. Some additional fun facts: 1. She was usually called "Charlotte" by her family members. In those days, it was normal to be called by your last Christian name. 2. She was named after her mother's favourite sister, Maria Carolina, who was known as "Charlotte" within the family. 3. While she didn't have children of her own, her brother-in-law's children, Louise and Henry V called her "their true mother". 4. She had an adoptive sister nicknamed "Ernestine", who was her playmate and look-a-like. They were separated in the revolution and as an adult, Marie Thérèse Charlotte went looking for her, but was sad to find out she had died.

Adding to... P Point 2: Marie Carolina's daughter, who was named Maria Teresa, exactly like her, as a hommage to Empress Maria Theresia, welcomed her back to Austria. Point 4: she had two further adoptive brothers, that's to say a kid named Armand and another one named Jean Amilcar, an Senegalese kid who was gifted to Marie Antoinette as a slave, but that she adopted as her own son.

I regret looking up what happened to the children. It still hurts thinking about it to this day. Like the other comments I too feel so sad when it comes to Marie Antoinette’s children. They tortured that little boy all because he was the rightful heir to the throne and they knew it. The little boy never rested even after death when the examiner took his heart. I will never understand why people do such disgusting acts towards children. Poor Marie Therese had to learn to grow thick skin and anger to survive her surroundings. I hope her soul was able to rest peacefully.

I mean, I cried and cried at the savage cruelty. They starved him, broke his bones, he almost died of pneumonia or tuberculosis, they'd denied him water, beat him, deny him warmth.. Absolute horrible, horrible mistreated of this little child. There were several attempted to rescue the children several times by family members, allied, friends.. but to no avail and failed. From what I remember there was one person who was either a prison guard or priest who took pity on him and showed him some kindness and care.. But this was short lived.. Louis Charles died..

I have often wondered how the British royal family felt about it when they and the rest of the world learned about what happened to them. But then look at how they treated close family members who had anything wrong with them, like that one grandchild I think it was of Victoria's who had epilepsy and was kind of not mentioned and rarely visited.

One of the driving factors of the revolution was extreme weather in Europe causing starvation among the French population. The volcanic eruption in Iceland (affecting sunlight and growth of crops), drought, brutal cold in winter caused by suspected low sunspot activity, as well as the change of the North Atlantic oscillation of the jet stream and one of the worst hailstorms on record decimated all the crops. Also, the French did not adapt by going to a more hardy type of potato (with high nutritional value) that the English and Germans used to survive the lack of viable crops.

I studied the history of Marie Antoinette and her family intensely for 1 year...1990-91. Then wrote a movie script of her true story...for the 200th anniversary of her death in 1993. The true story came from historians of her time, whose work was suppressed. Most of what we know of her and her daughter comes from a twisted, intense propaganda campaign conducted by her secret political enemies--the two brothers and a cousin of King Louis XVI. They coveted the throne and were EXTREMELY persistent about each one of them sitting on it in turns ...even if it meant tearing down and resurrecting the monarchy TWICE in order to do it. But it was they who lied to the people and incited them to the bloody revolution that murdered so many people...including Marie-Antoinette, her husband and her son. It is SO ironic that her daughter Marie ended up marrying the son of the Compte d'Artois, for he was one of the three co-conspirators in the over throw of Louis and Marie Antoinette. The Other two were the Compte de Provence, and the Duc d'Orleans. They also murdered Napoleon on the Island of St.Helena ( he did not die of cancer as the paid off doctor claimed). And it was they, in the mid 1700s who convinced the Parlement (all nobles)that France should bankroll the American Revolution against England, which bankrupted France and caused dire poverty. But the three viciously ambitious men blamed it all on Marie-Antoinette's degree of royal spending ( which was at an average level for European royals). It was done through a pamphletteering campaign...and so it was these three men who deliberately sparked the horrible French Revolution. They secretly manipulated EVERYONE, including Marie-Antoinette, Louis XVI, their daughter Marie, and the people of France. However, even until their deaths Louis XVI, Marie Antoinette and their daughter Marie thought the three men were their loyal supporters. They never knew of the three men's secret calumny. Even today most people in France and around the world blame Marie--but their beliefs are just based on the political propaganda the three men put about. And to think that poor duped Marie MARRIED the son of one of the three liars who always pretended to be everyone's innocent helpful friends. Marie was a good Queen who tried to help govern as best she could when the king dropped the ball. He couldn't face what was happening. But even he, in his male jealousy and resentment of her potentially effective efforts, tried to trip her up. He would not do his job, but he resented her trying to do it for him and the country ...all because he had become administratively catatonic. Dog in the manger! Oh! The male ego and power-tripping involved throughout this historical calamity...from beginning to end!

This tale is very much like so many others. The Romanovs of Russia also suffered a similar fate. I have a direct lineage to the House of Hanover. These horrific accounts are very close to my heart. I do not benefit from this connection. Just knowing my ancestors suffered in this way is more than one can take. I am fortunate. I went on to become a lawyer fighting for Social Justice. Human beings are so cruel.

Salic law also meant that the throne could only pass to a male. She was no threat because she could never reign in her own right. That’s why her uncle ascended the throne in 1815.

Young Louis Charles was neglected in the temple prison, as it was known, until the last year of his life which was when the political climate began to change at which stage there was some efforts at least to treat the little one with more recognition and dignity, however, little sausage was extremely unwell by that stage after which, he shortly became one of the "dearly-departed"! He was only 10 years of age! There is a fantastic book written by Debora Cadbury called , "The lost king of France" - highly recommended - and a brilliantly written account depicted from testimonial witness diaries of all the shenanigans of what actually went on during that fateful era? Well worth a read!

Great history lesson I enjoyed it hope to see more soon 😀

Lovely video about an amazing woman. I am surprised that you didn't mention she was Queen Consort of France for about 20 minutes, between the time when her father-in-law abdicated and her husband did the same. I know it's a technicality, but one has to imagine she gained some small satisfaction that for a brief moment in time the only surviving heir to her parents once more occupied the French throne. I look forward to more of your videos. Thanks for posting!
