Biography
Marie Antoinette, born Maria Antonia Josepha Joanna, was the last queen of France, ruling from 1774 to 1792. Married at only 14 years old, and becoming the queen at 19, Antoinette's rule acted as a provocateur in the public unrest and lead to the French Revolution and eventual overthrow of the French monarchy. She and her husband, Louis XVI, were executed in 1793.
