About this book

Español

¿Quién fue María Antonieta?

Desde los palacios de Austria hasta los salones de espejos de Versalles, María Antonieta disfrutó de una vida de ensueño. Nació en la realeza en 1755 y se casó con el futuro rey de Francia a los 15 años. A los 21 ascendió al trono y disfrutó de un estilo de vida suntuoso con bailes de máscaras, pelucas altísimas y comida extravagante. Pero su gusto por el exceso irritó a muchos. Los pobres de Francia culparon a María Antonieta de su pobreza. Sus gastos contribuyeron a incitar la Revolución Francesa. Y tras una gran protesta pública, en 1793, literalmente, perdió la cabeza por ello. Si fue inocente o culpable es discutible, pero María Antonieta sigue entretejida en la historia y la cultura popular.

English

Who was Marie Antoniette?

From the palaces of Austria to the mirrored halls of Versailles, Marie Antoinette led a charmed life. She was born into royalty in 1755 and married the future king of France at age 15. By 21 she ascended to the throne and enjoyed a lavish lifestyle of masquerade balls, sky-high wigs, and extravagant food. But her taste for excess ruffled many feathers. The poor people of France blamed Marie Antoinette for their poverty. Her spending helped incite the French Revolution. And after much public outcry, in 1793 she quite literally lost her head because of it. Whether she was blameless or guilty is debatable, but Marie Antoinette remains woven into the fabric of history and popular culture.
