Marietta was her Nickname.
Famous quotes- "There is nothing new except what has been forgotten."
"I have seen all, I have heard all, I have forgotten all."
"No one understands my ills, nor the terror that fills my breast, who does not know the heart of a mother."
"Courage! I have shown it for years; think you I shall lose it at the moment when my sufferings are to end?"
Name Change- After tedious and lengthy negotiations, King Louis XV requested the hand of the Archduchess for his grandson and heir, Louis Auguste. In consideration of the marriage, her name was changed to Marie Antoinette. The name was thought to be more appropriate for the Dauphine of France and later, the Queen of France.
Full Name- Maria Antonia Josepha Johanna
The campaign against Marie Antoinette likewise grew stronger. In July 1793, she lost custody of her young son, who was forced to accuse her of sexual abuse and incest before a Revolutionary tribunal. In October, she was convicted of treason and sent to the guillotine. Though Marie Antoinette was innocent of any involvement, she was nevertheless guilty in the eyes of the people. Refusing to let public criticism alter her behavior, in 1786 Marie Antoinette began building the Hameau de la Reine, an extravagant retreat near the Petit Trianon in Versailles. Your Welcome. :)
