French tragedy: How extravagant is Queen Mary who accompanied Louis XVI to behead?

Marie Antoinette, born in 1755 1 1, was once an Austrian princess and the youngest daughter of the famous queen Tracy, and later married French king Louis XVI as the queen. But unfortunately, Mary has no responsibility and mission as a queen. Mary has made no achievements in politics. She only likes dancing, silks and satins, and precious stones every day ... As for the Queen's decision, Mary used it all to satisfy her extravagant desires.

There is no praise for her husband Louis XVI in history. He is weak, mediocre and has no political talent. It is said that he still has physical defects. But he is probably the most spoiled man in the French royal family. He indulged Mary to the maximum extent and satisfied all her wishes. Numerous expensive gems and fashions poured into her palace, and the atmosphere of luxury and fashion swept the French aristocrats under her leadership. One of the sins of spending money to buy it is to rebuild the Little Trianon Palace, which was a gift from Louis XVI to Mary. The Queen used endless creativity to make it more interesting. According to statistics, the money spent back and forth in this palace is about 766 thousand francs! At the same time, she is also a generous art patron, who is very interested in haute couture, royal furniture supply and royal portrait painting. The queen spends most of her time pursuing fashion, chatting with her stylist and barber every day.

Queen Mary's good artistic taste also made him ignorant of human sufferings and insatiable for clothes, shoes and jewelry, which led to the emptiness of the national treasury and was called "the deficit queen" by the French at that time. What's more, she was involved in a mysterious court incident: the diamond necklace incident. In the end, it almost ruined her. Frustrated, Lady lamotte turned and set a trap for Queen Mary. She encouraged the Queen to buy a priceless diamond necklace and cheated at both ends, which convinced Bishop Rouen that the Queen was in love with him, so the Bishop fell in love with her enthusiastically. He asked lamotte to arrange his secret date with the Queen-in fact, the Queen didn't know, and the secret meeting arranged by lamotte with Bishop Rouen was just a brothel woman who looked similar to the Queen! After the necklace incident was exposed, the French people were furious. At this time, an anti-royal atmosphere is brewing among the French people, and the crisis-ridden Queen Mary is still enjoying herself.

Finally, a great revolution broke out in debt-ridden France. King Louis XVI and queen Mary, who were hated by the people, were imprisoned. 1792, in order to prevent the restoration of monarchy, French revolutionaries guillotined Louis XVI and Queen Mary in Paris. Before going to the execution ground, Mary leveled her gray prison uniform and gracefully walked to the guillotine, saving her last dignity. Cleopatra died like this. It can be said that the times and personal character * * * caused her tragedy.
