Marie Antoinette, Queen of France and of Navarre
Engraving entitled: Marie Antoinette condemned by the Revolutionary Tribunal. Marie Antoinette (1755-1793) was an Archduchess of Austria and the Queen of France and of Navarre. She was the fifteenth and penultimate child of Holy Roman Empress Maria Theresa and Holy Roman Emperor Francis I. In 1770, on the day of her marriage to Louis-Auguste, Dauphin of France, she became Dauphine of France. She assumed the title of Queen of France and of Navarre when her husband, Louis XVI of France, ascended the throne upon the death of Louis XV. The French people disliked her, accusing promiscuous and of harboring sympathies for France's enemies. Louis XVI was deposed and the monarchy abolished in 1792 and the royal family was imprisoned at the Temple Prison. Nine months after her husband's execution, Marie Antoinette was herself tried, convicted of treason, and executed by guillotine in 1793
