12.10 Marie Antoinette, the Unfortunate Queen

Her Half of History - Un pódcast de Evergreen Podcasts - Jueves

Categorías:

This is the 2nd of 3 episodes on Marie Antoinette. She is now queen, but it's not as fabulous as it sounds because her marriage needs counseling and her household budget is out of control. Though she did spend a lot, she spent far less than she was blamed for, especially during the infamous necklace affair, in which some ingenious criminals pulled off a jewel heist, and somehow people thought it was all the queen's fault. France's finances were plummeting (not because of her), women marched on Versailles in protest, and the royal family emerged as prisoners.
