A lot of the dislike she elicited at the french court actually comes from the fact that one, she was unfamiliar with the culture and two, she was still a teenager and no amount of training could have prepared her for the role of Dauphine of France. So it seems only logical she would have had troubles navigating the intricacies of french etiquette and offended some people. Besides, she would have been accustomed to having a lot of privacy at the court of Vienna, which was absent at the french court, where the royal family was constantly exposed. Her relationship with Louis XVl didn't start well, but they grew fond of one another and Louis gifted her a private mansion called Le petit Trianon where she could be alone, because he knew how much she valued her solitude. Sadly it only increased the French court's distrust in her and further tarnished her reputation because it was said she entertained lovers there.

I also think that when people have already decided to hate someone, they will get offended by everything the person does. She was not liked because people didn't like the alliance. She also probably didn't know how to "people-please" the aristocracy in a way that they may have wanted (you know, giving them favors)... That's enough for people to taint your reputation... Maybe if she was alive in this era, she would have been seen as a role model for valuing her personal space, not letting her boundaries crossed, etc.

it really had more to do with the fact that she was Viennese. The French did NOT want an alliance with vienna and so, she as the symbol and literal cause of that alliance took the brunt of it. Also the people and the revolution needed a scape goat. She didn't do any of the things they convicted her of, such as incest with her child, adultery, and all the other crazy accusations they made. But it's easier to blame an outsider, a foreigner etc. So they killed her husband first because how dare he marry a viennese and then they killed her because they were afraid the people would rally around her. So many people tried to save her. Even Thomas Jefferson who was ambassador at the time and his wife, the English royalty, etc. Her husband was a royal idiot as well as incompetent and he is why they were all killed. The children were later starved to death. Granted the change to democracy that followed the revolution was good, but the way it was done was horrible. It was a horrible time in french history.

They shipped in her brothers to investigate why there was no offspring, their report to their mom includes that the king had rather excellent erections but he only put it in once then wished the queen a good night and rolled around to sleep, the closing words of the report contains 'diletants'.
Hearing how medication was mixed with chocolate reminds me of when my mom was going through chemo, she suffered some really bad side effects from the treatments and needed some very strong pain killers, but they tasted awful so it made it difficult to take. So I would mix her painkillers into chocolate pudding for her and it made it far easier for her to take. My mom probably didn't care much for how the pudding tasted with the medication, but she loved chocolate so I think she tolerated it because she knew I would give her unadulterated pudding after she ate the medicted one. I kinda wish I knew about the medicated chocolate Marie Antoinette ate, I think my mom would have found it amusing to be served the same chocolate a queen ate.

And in case you're wondering (which I know you're not), a 1/2 chopin is called a tasse, and a 1/2 tasse is called a demiard. There are other units of measure also called chopins, just to needlessly complicate everything. The Chopin sèche (dry chopin) is equivalent to 0.55 liters, and the Scottish "chopine" is 0.848 liters (because Scots could hold their whiskey way better than those fufu Frenchmen).

I live in Varennes (Québec) and Max just said the name naturally and properly. I wonder if the "Viennese bread" to which Marie-Antoinette was said to be accustomed was in fact a Danish. What English speakers call a Danish is called a Viennoiserie (which we might translate as "something typically from Vienna") in French, a word which also designates other types of bread-like pastries. To add to this hypothesis, in Denmark the "Danish" is called a "Viennese bread".

Great episode!

Beautiful desserts! So glad that you included how to fix seized chocolate. I hear from so many people that their chocolate seizes and they just throw it out. It makes me sad because it can be fixed by adding a little fat, like you mentioned.
Oh, yeah, I forgot that Max didn't eat his recipes on camera in old videos. He described the taste and his thoughts, but didn't show him eating. It's kinda funny thinking that people wanting to watch royals eat as odd, but here we were thinking it weird that Max wasn't eating on camera for us 😂

Most of the time the marriage wasn’t actually consummated on that occasion. The couple would be very publicly tucked up in bed together and sometimes greeted the next morning, but most of the time the marriage wouldn’t be consummated until later. In the case of Marie Antoinette and Louis much, much later. Since royal couples usually lived in separate apartments the whole thing was a bit of theater, a way to keep one of the parties involved from getting the marriage annulled after the wedding so they could back out of whatever treaty they signed and start courting someone else.

A tale of Two Cities is my favourite Dickens book, so I found this fascinating. Just recently I watched a video here on yt about Marie Antionette's children, and what happened to them. It made me so sad. I think history has not been kind to her, and she wasn't monstrous, as she is often depicted. It's true that the victors write history, and it often is far more nuanced than what we are presented with. Thanks for all the wonderful work you do, bringing history to life.♥

My family’s Kifli recipe is about 110yrs old, and whenever we made Kifli my grandparents would have it with their coffee every morning. Kifli can be filled with basically anything, I prefer apricot and strawberry but there are nut mixtures that are delicious and a bit more savory if that’s your preference. They really do taste very good at breakfast and with coffee or tea… 👀
I could definitely see Marie Antonette not liking to eat in front of a large group as she was probably still shy. I've been to Versailles and got to see Marie Antonette's village, a little german style village away from the castle where she could be away from the eyes of the court and I was told that she liked to play peasant when she was there. She was married off at the age of 14 if I remember correctly, and when she arrived in France she was expected to BE french. So much so that when she arrived they took her dog that came with her and replaced it with a french breed of dog. A little extra history for you. :)
Marie is an icon. No interest in working, loving sweets and chocolate and frills, disdain for being observed? That's life goals right there.
I like the Slyveon plush on display and I bet Antoinette would’ve loved Pokémon like it because of her knack for beauty
Yay ! Max feeds us chocolate ! Max feeds us chocolate ! And tells people the fake saying is fake ! Dunno which I should be grateful for more ! You really are a blessing to all the internet folks Max ! Don't remember finding a channel so delighting and so useful as yours in many months, years maybe. It really makes waiting for your episodes a joy, like waiting for Santa and presents back then, when you still had dreams of great presents each year, not just new face cream and socks. What surprises me in the recipe is that they are calling for "setting the biscuits on sheets of paper", was there baking paper used then, at XVIII century ? Thought it's a pretty recent invention, and all the previous generations had to rely on greased tins and pans.
Beautiful. This is not my historical area, so I learned a lot, and I was glad to hear that you *did* point out that Marie couldn't have said that as it was written before she was born.

13:11: Kipferl is widespread around the whole ex-Habsburg Empire. It's usually eaten with butter, but because this use makes quite bit of mess, we usually just dip it in coffee or chocolate milk. We also do it with many other types of pastry, like sweet bread, croissants, etc. The main point is to not make a big mess.

Don't know if it's still the case but up until the 1980s when i was still living in my home province of Quebec, a half-quart of milk sold in stores was called, in french, a 'chopine"
Sobriety doesn't always mean not drinking alcohol, it can just mean controlled in general terms. The misunderstanding probably comes from the English language not keeping the original meaning the latin word had, which is actually "temperance". I suppose the comment meant to say she had self control and ate in moderation, her meals also looked quite simple for royalty standards.
The story about chocolate medicine reminds me of when I got very sick when I was in 5th grade and had to take pills for the first time. One of them was so bitter I wasn't able to take them, so my parents would coat them in chocolate and put them in the freezer for a while before I took them.
You made me truly cry, Max! Oh my gosh, Max is a hero with this!!!! I am a huge fan of the actual Marie Antoinette; she's oft maligned in art and the letters which the aristocracy wrote of her and the King doing unnamable acts was (and still is) so despicable in print, that the Museum in which they are stored refuses to show them. One must ask permission before seeing them. Her and Louis both have so much defamation unjustly put on them. I hope that people can do their own research and cure themselves of repeated lies and slander. Louise was unpopular and truly hated by the other royalty since he took the reigns and slack and was making them both PAY and reducing their salaries (so to speak)...and so these people stirred up the Common people-who were already duly hurting from the LAST King (who was TERRIBLE). The stuff that Max says that she was maligned with, was exactly for this reason. The other royalty were PISSED. There you have, the dreaded, horrific, Revolution. And France has never been the same. Thanks Max. You've really helped with an actual dream I have and dispelled especially that horrific 'let them eat cake'. You're awesome.

When you're using two levels of your oven at the same time, it's best practice to place the top one in first in case there's any gunk stuck to the grate that gets shaken off in the process. If you place the bottom one first, you get an unwanted seasoning.
