Marie Antoinette®©

Let me see... I am the Queen of France, haute couture, and décoration d’intérieurs. I am resented by the French citizenry for my foreign birth and extravagant lifestyle. I have gone down in history as the arrogant and apathetic monarch who said "let them eat " when told the peasants were starving. These days most scholars dismiss the quote as being revolutionary propaganda, but I was well-known to have spent wildly as a young queen before tempering things a bit as I've matured. I am the daughter of Francis I and Maria Theresa, Emperor and Empress of the Holy Roman Empire. I left Austria for France in 1770 to marry the prince of France. In 1774 the prince became King Louis XVI and I became queen. As revolution swept Paris in 1789, the king and I tried to flee but failed. While the revolutionaries were trying to hash out a new system of government, Louis and I were stuck as prisoners at the palace at Tuileries. We tried to get help from royal supporters in England, Prussia and Austria, but in 1792 we were arrested and charged with treason. Louis was beheaded 21 January 1793 and I was beheaded 16 October 1793. It obviously didn't take. Anyhow, the story goes that my last words were an apology to the executioner for accidentally stepping on his foot.
