Marie Antoinette was the last queen of France before the French Revolution. She was born on November 2, 1755, and married Louis XVI at the age of 14. Marie Antoinette is known for her extravagant style, her love for fashion, and her alleged quote "Let them eat cake," which was attributed to her but there is no evidence she actually said it. She was also the target of numerous rumors and criticisms during her reign, and was ultimately guillotined on October 16, 1793, during the period known as the Terror.
