I feel I will soon get tired of leaving a true story about her under every video about Marie-Antoinette. All expenses of the queen, for the entire period of reign - about 7 million. livres (Napoleon's wife, Josephine, spent 6 million on herself PER YEAR!) Of these, about 3 million were spent on various outfits and entertainment, and other "Trianons". AND 3.2 MILLION LIVERS WAS SPENT ON CHARITY. For reference: the budget deficit of France, in 1789, was about 300 million livres. How much the queen was guilty of this shortage is easy to calculate ... Home "Antoinette's feature: The queen did not love cakes, and not even outfits. She loved children. Throughout France, with the money of the queen, orphanages and prototypes of the Children's Homes were opened (by the way, during the revolution, many of these shelters were closed, and children were simply thrown out into the street, into street children) The queen herself had several adopted children who were brought up on an equal footing with her relatives, as well as many scholarship holders, to whom she paid for education. She gave dowries to the girls. In the hungry winter of 1787, the queen not only gave all her personal savings to the parishes of Paris to help poor children (500 thousand livres), but also gutted the piggy bank of children (70 thousand livres), persuading them to refuse new outfits and gifts ...

The Monarchy was an outdated institution by the 1790's, but the mob violence perpetrated on the Royal Family was utterly appalling. They may have been naive and uninformed about the suffering of the peasants, but a lot of that was institutional. Anyone who has toured Versailles and the 'layers' you had to go through to visit the King and Queen can understand how isolated they were. The Monarchy was rightfully deposed, but their murders were bestial and unwarranted. As for Madame Tussaud, her story of taking a wax death mask of the Queen and King is hard to believe-probably more myth than truth. But the caricatures are close facsimilies.

We saw similar evil in the death camps of WW2 and the lynchings in the South USA in the early 20th century. This is why we have laws, because a society turned loose without constraints is very likely to turn to mob violence when confronted with problems. The Reign of Terror was Mob violence that was allowed and encouraged by the leaders at that time because they felt they could control it, that proved false-it got worse and worse and pretty soon was beyond the control of anyone. This was finally recognized by enough people and some semblance of order was eventually established, along with a sense of contrition by many French people who recognized they'd allowed their worst instincts to take over. The Reign of Terror was the populace of Paris allowed almost unrestrained barbarism, the folks most responsible were the top Republican leadership like Robespierre who promoted the violence and had no empathy with the victims. It was just desserts he finally was treated with the same ending he sent so many others to, IMO.

This very condensed account of the French Revolution doesn't take into account that France , during Louis XVI , was actually enjoying the most prosperous times France had known up to that point in time compared to other nations. According to historical accounts, after the slaughter of the nobility of France during The Reign of Terror , France suffered a huge catastrophic collapse of it's economy. It took France quite some time to recover from the communist-like revolution that was known to have been fomented by an elitist group of mercantile classed wealthy men. It amounted to a huge power grab by getting the French common populace to get into a frenzy of mob mentality. This type of mob mentality fomented by disinformation and rumors can be seen all through out history, the Soviet Proletariat revolution, Cambodia, etc and their end results ... The truth is that there will always be inequality and poverty, but the real question is are the powerful good stewards, or are they truly unjust? Any system run amuck becomes a plutocracy, oligarchy. King Louis apparently loved his subjects a bit too much? He utterly refused to use military force against the revolution mob, even though his commander of the guard insisted on this as the mob entered his courtyard. Apparently, huge transitions were taking place, the beginning Republic. This opened the door for the beginning of Socialist Republics. And we know the rest of the bureaucratic tale!

She and her sister in law gave food to the poor, sought out education where they could and tried to be the best that they could be given their limited abilities. Imagine a world where all you do is limited bc of your gender identity, race, religion ,equal orientation, etc such is the case in our country. It is important to have people like Marie try to break through those barriers. Marie was the first to introduce a woman to the academy in France. Madam Elisabeth Vigee LeBron. While Marie may not have been able to openly preach women's liberation or helping orphans she was able to do what she could given her station and assigned gender. All I'm saying is that she gets a bum wrap which she doesn't deserve.

Ironically it was just the failed attempt by the Austrian monarch, Leopold II., to bring his sister, Marie-Antoinette, and his brother in law, Louis XVI, back to reign again thru the threat of a military invasion of France by Austrian and allied armies, that would eventually speeded up the violent deaths of Marie Antoinette and the King of France. In the declaration of Pillnitz from August the 27th. 1791 Kaiser Leopold, King Friedrich Wilhelm II. of Prussia und Prince Karl de Artois, the brother of Ludwig's XVI., threatened France with a military intervention in case the French monarchy wouldn't be restored. This radicalized the girondistes even more, who were initionally in favor of a constitutional monarchy and wanted the King alive; and on April, the 20th.1792 France declared war on the Habsburgian empire. That would be the beginning of over 20 years of wars between France and the Habsburgian monarchy and its allies. And it led to even more hate of the French against their Austrian queen as now her image as traitor of France to Austria seemed completed and her fate finally sealed, as was her husband's.

But I did want to see what the legendary Madame Tussaud did with the heads ... and I feel like I wasn't shown that, like, at all.

Society based on heartless brutality is damned from the start. Greetings to USA, Russia, China and others.

I agree. Those who fail to see will suffer the same fate. As they're ALL about that heartlessness and brutality. I guess it can't be bred out of some people.

Yes, indeed! The very last execution with the guillotine was done in France as late as in September 1977. It was the last execution in Western Europe. Four years later, in october 1981, the death penalty was finally abolished in France. I'm old enough to still remember, when all this was in the news of the time period.

You're not going to show me the heads that were casted?

Poor Antoinette, she was a “looker”. Unfortunately, she got tied up with a loser who wasnt perceptive enough to “see the writing on the wall” and “get out of Dodge”.

Looker? That's debatable.

is it interesting that the word "scapegoat" has a completely opposite meaning today than it had back in Biblical times?? the origin of the word is that the scapegoat was the goat that was let go free without blame into the woods. today scapegoat equals the same as sacrifice.

I've learned about the king's execution by playing AC Unity.

Both were victims of circumstances.

When they say ‘taken into custardy’ does it mean being dipped in custard?

I was surprised to learn that Louis XVI and I are distant cousins.

Reign of terror not only the sovereignty executed also nobles even revolutionaries common criminals

I think those are blood. Madame Tussaud was a wax sculptor . She may have been trying to depict the king as accurately as possible, as she saw him after his death

The tragedy was disgusting that shouldn’t of happened even the deaths of there children it’s so sad See when your an autocrat you have all the power the people have none she never said let them eat cake she said that she would always remember the day of her coronation for her people had so little and she had so much and there was nothing she could do about it for her hands were tied from there advisers wouldn’t allow them to really do anything that would change anything for they were pocketing a lot of the tax money them self Catherine the great sent Marie a letter informing her to take control of the situation and again the corrupt advisors wouldn’t allow it to happen i am tho surprised that her brother didn’t turn France inside out when they placed them under house arrest that’s what I would of done lol 🥰

9:19 Louis XVI was NOT the last king of France.

But where is the head?

Read up on Marie. She was not the monster she is reputed to be by people such as this narrator. Merci.

Very educational.

As much as I love tales of history I always find it difficult to continue listening after the person has mispronounced several words. It's very off-putting. It happens too often on these kinds of channels. It makes me question how educated or well read they actually are.

It’s pronounced GEE-YUH-TEEN. The Ls are pronounced as a “y”. Just thought you should know :)

The queens head is shown with long hair. I'm quite sure that her hair was cut off before the execution. But maybe it was on purpose to make her head look nicer.

Shame they don’t treat the current british Monarchy the same.

W O W it’s almost you were there . . . .

The Queen of France has enormous "soft power" and could have had an enormous impact on the crisis and she should have done. I cannot consider her an innocent victim of the chaos that ensued. There was much she could have and should have done even as a "first lady" of France. If nothing else she had great influence at court.

Any political idea that she had her husband rebuffed, her she didn’t really have any political power and she did give money to charity

Its not the history , what happened is done . Regardless of wether the victims deserved it or not Its just hard to believe how many actually justify and rationalize a bloody gory stone age justice .

Quite a historical error you committed here. Louis XVI was NOT the last king of France. After his death, his younger brother the Duke of Provence became king in 1814 with the name Louis XVIII. Another brother succeeded him, becoming Charles X. This one was the last king of the Ancien Régime and was dethroned in the 1830 Revolution. After him came a nephew, Louis-Philippe, who reigned until the 1848 Revolution and became truly the LAST French king.

She never said let them eat cake. They hated her from the beginning. For nothing. See Volhov's comment.. Ask Benjamin Franklin what the French financed.

Where was any discussion of what the death masks looked like?

To think there must of been family hairlooms of the bloody rags of the last king of France.

Poor Louis and Antionette. They were kids. They helped us during the Americaan Revolution.

symbolism matters, if your people starve you ought to both tighten your own belt and seek to alleviate some of their suffering. instead she just kept living her lavish lifestyle

The title of this mini documentary is misleading. At no point are we shown the heads as made from the plaster casts by Toussaud after the executions. The narrator even says, “here is the head “ for both the king and queen, and we see no such thing. Disappointing.

Be headed..

Revolutions always consume their own. Remember Cambodia, Russia, for example.

If you, a British person, are going to talk about French people, please learn to pronounce their names and other french words properly. There are too many errors to list.

false. The jacobins are in the lodge of The Grand Orient de France.

Firstly It's Madame Tussaud. not Madam two sword or to sword. It's a french name and thusly pronounced as sutch. If you are to lazy to look up the french pronouncination of it, its similair to “To-so” like to sow (as in planting somthing). Tussaud and two sword does not sound simlair. Secondly the kings head was not cleanly cut. Due to the thickness of his neck (Due being overweight) the blade did not cut it cleanly off, so the exicutioner had to use a knife to cut the reminder of the neck. Thirdly. No one but those who where the nearest to the king acually heard what he said, due to every one yelling and the drums rolling. I believe there only where two written records of the kings last words. and it's from one of the guards who brought him up on the scaffold, and teh second being one of the exicutioners present up there. Forth and final. The queen was sorrounded by so many lies and rumours by ignorant and hatefull people who blamed everything on those around them, instead of accepting their own faults. that the queen would still been sentenced to death. It was a show trial. Even God him selfe would had been sentenced to death if it had been him on that trial. Thee was no possibillity of a fair trial or a just outcome.

D’un niveau….assez désolant

i have also seen the head of rebespierre...

These monarchs were actually noble and did not deserve this at all.

Very low haircuts, too low up top.

Stop using the adjective 'infamous' (Madame Tussaud) when you just mean 'famous'. Infamous has a negative connotation - it doesn't just mean very famous! It is the sort of thing we hear from uneducated Americans.
