Marie Antoinette was Dauphine of France from 1770 to 1774 and Queen of France from 1774 to 1792. She was the fifteenth and penultimate child of Holy Roman Empress Maria Theresa and Emperor Francis I.


Marie Antoinette was Dauphine of France from 1770 to 1774 and Queen of France from 1774 to 1792. In April 1770, upon her marital relationship to Louis-Auguste, Dauphin of France, she ended up being Dauphine of France. She assumed the title Queen of France and of Navarre when her husband ascended the throne as Louis XVI upon the fatality of his grandfather Louis XV in May 1774.

Initially charmed by her individuality and elegance, the French people eventually came to dislike her. She later on ended up being called Madame Deficit because France's monetary crisis was criticismed on her lavish spending.

Long after her death, Marie Antoinette is usually considered to be a component of popular culture and a major historical figure, being the subject of many books, films and various other forms of media.
