Marie Antoinette Part 3 - TRIAL and EXECUTION 

This series was well done. Bien joué! It hurts me to hear how many needless indignities she was made to suffer. I am glad she was given a decent burial 30 years later. It's a good example to not accept everything that is said about others.

This made me sad- she was a woman and a mother in time where men made most decisions...she didn’t deserve to be beheaded.

This was so tragic and the treatment of her son who later died was horrible as well.

Awful….. I feel so bad for these historical figures!!! Life was quick and cheap back then, and scary!!! Long live the Queen! 👑 Thank you for your excellent work, I enjoy listening to your videos very much!💕

A well done video of Marie Antionette. I became interested in her when I was a teenager after reading a historical novel from the library and have been fascinated ever since. I am American so I really didn’t know much of anything about her or the French Revolution until I started getting as many books as I could find about her. I see her as such a tragic figure all due to the politics and the way rulers were chosen in the past. I think she was hated way more than she deserved because she was so naive in the knowledge of how the average and poor lived. I think she was good hearted in spite her faults. Thank you for a very accurate and informative video.

Very interesting! I have read much about the Great French Revolution and watched many documents about it. Here I found things I had not heard. You narrate this history very clearly. Thank you so much! 🤗💖

I love this whole series! Thank you.

A great trilogy of this lady's life and unjustied death, she met her end with such great courage and dignity, history has been less than kind to her but that has changed now they see her in a more sympathtic way, thank you as always.

I just watched this again and yes, she was humiliated and treated cruelly at the end - especially having the head of the Princesse de Lamballes held up on a pike in front of her. For people of British and British Colonial descent the hatred the French unleashed against their monarchy, the aristocracy and the church often seems so outlandish and so savage. But we forget - and historically we never experienced - what absolutism meant for the common people. Taxed mercilessly by the state, tithed mercilessly by the church while the nobles and the clerics lived lives of luxury. Most of us don't even know that up to the revolution a common punishment for a trifling offence was to be sent to the galleys. The French had a huge fleet of galleys in the Med, rowed by thousands of condemned prisoners until they died. It's human to say, "How cruelly they treated her", but it's more honest to say "How cruelly the power structure, with her and her husband at the top, treated their own people". The Latin phrase, 'sic semper tyrannis' is apt - 'thus, always, to tyrants'. She got what she deserved, as did Nicholas and Alexandra and their family, Muammar Ghadaffi, Saddam Hussein and the Ceaucescus.

“I was a queen, and you took away my crown; a wife, and you killed my husband; a mother, and you deprived me of my children. My blood alone remains: take it, but do not make me suffer long.” ― Marie Antoinette

I just subscribed and I have to say I love your videos they are flawless I'm a bit history buff Thanks so much for doing Marie Antoinette I love her so sad what happened to her and Husband and her kids I think is sick what they did to her kids

Thank you for your great vids. That Tour de Temple looked like a grim and depressing place. Im glad Louis xv111 restored some dignity & did the right thing later on.

I have a book called From Marie-Antoinettes Garden: An Eighteenth-Century Horticultural Album, which has a tender but sad story of how a note was snuggled into a posse of flowers into her prison to lend a hand in her escape, the guard apparently led her to the gate and got cold feet last minute and returned her to her cell what a terrible sense that must’ve felt but based on what we know she would’ve never consented to leaving with a hint of leaving her children behind with those monsters in the concierge or the temple prisons

Poor woman....

And thusly soon the US may face something similar

Heartbreakingly accurate description of the martyrdom of that most unfortunate of queens.

How do French people view the star-crossed queen now? Do they still blame her?

I believe both Marie Antoinette and King Louis XVI are saints in Heaven. They were truly martyred for the Faith.

Je crois que Louis XVI et Marie-Antoinette étaient sans doute incapable d'assumer leurs rôles et leurs erreurs ont créer des crises sans précédents par le creusement de la dette. Cependant, les dépenses de Marie-Antoinette n'étaient pas nécessairement plus grandes que celle des maîtresses en titre et plusieurs nouvelles modes furent beaucoup moins dispendieuse que celle des années 1750s. Toutefois, ils ont eut une influence assez positive. Par exemple, sous Louis XVI, il y a eut l'abolition de la question, une diminution des exécutions indépendamment du crime, des tentatives de soulager la misère populaire et la destitution de plusieurs maniaques qui fréquentaient la cour et donc avait beaucoup de pouvoir. Aussi, bien que Marie-Antoinette n'ait pas briller ni par son intelligence ni par son humanité, elle mourut avec dignité. Sa dernière phrase fut une sorte de petit mot machinal que l'on dit sans y penser. Comme pour complètement cacher sa peur.

I stand ashamed of my french history and people for what took place during the french revolution.I know that some of my family met the guillotine and some escaped.

I don’t think the word horrible is the right word to use here. She did commit treason as the wife of the sovereign. She knowingly and willingly gave information on French troop movements to the Austrians as well as acted unconstitutionally to the constitution which she and her husband signed. Marie and Louis Capet committed crimes against the French Republic and should have been executed for treason as any person who committed treason would receive. The Bourbons were ignorant of the times and played with the feelings of the nation and instead of standing with the French people they betrayed them in order to keep the absolute monarchy which was outdated, unfair, and unjust

God Save Their Majesties. Long Live Their Majesties.

why the arms of Castlla & Aragon with the lilies of France?

at the trial M.A.`s hair was completely white

I'm FIRST! I love these videos.

Call me cruel or heartless or a sociopath or psychopath but there's no need to pity Marie Antoinette. She caused her own downfall. All those years when she could've been a queen she was dumb blonde in the pretty dress who didn't bother to correct her mistakes when they were still reparable. When she decided to finally become a queen she decided to be the wrong kind of queen and boy did she go for it. She knew what was going on outside the gates of Versailles but chose to turn a blind eye to the suffering of the common people, and continue to party, shop and gamble as if the treasury was endlessly bursting with gold. You reap what you sow.

Interesting

They did not deserve the treatment they received. Herd mentality can be very dangerous and unnecessarily extreme in their radicalness and brutality.

OK two things number one it’s so sad how uneducated and widespread misinformation was spread during these era because we all really do know that Louis the 14th is the real reason the palace of Versailles was even built or constructed number two OK Marie Antoinette was a little special and it’s giving very much ADHD on a level of I don’t know, but it’s just sad that there was nobody in the court of Versailles to give her any type of educational experiencing or background given her stature in society, and that given an era

Both were martyrs and most noble french monarchs. No mercy, no logic, no justice for the royal family. Even buried with humiliation. Their son, the dauphin of France was ultimately killed in isolation. This is why french revolution was the most ruthless and brutal period of history. It pains me to think of their misery. Thanks for your series, exemplary as always.

Aparently she suffered from cancer of the uterus according to a documentary I watched on RU-vid

Belove Majesties of France.

God Save Marie Antoinette's Life.

I have a love, hate relationship with the French, after all my birth name is French,but being said, I detest them for what they did to Marie Antoinette and her children, her beautiful children.💔

Vive la Reine!
