One of the two famous sayings of the Beheaded Queen was not said by her, and the other is worthy of praise.

Marie Antoinette was originally a princess of Austria.

She is naturally beautiful and versatile, and she and Mozart were childhood sweethearts. When she was 14 years old, her mother married the French Crown Prince, who later became Louis XVI.

At the age of 16, the princess met a man she truly loved—Filson. He is a Swedish aristocrat, humorous, witty and charming, also suave and talented in both civil and military affairs.

Although the Crown Princess was obsessed with Philson, in the end she was unable to break away from this political marriage that restricted her destiny, and she still married a man who was not good at socializing, was dull and taciturn all day long, and her biggest hobby was doing A blacksmith of Louis XVI.

In 1774, Louis XVI became emperor, and Queen Marie's mother moved to France. However, she was only interested in holding dance parties, fashion shows, various entertainments, eating and drinking banquets every day, and was extravagant, leaving her with the title of "Mrs. Deficit".

Although after the French Revolution began, she once showed her pride and dignity as a queen and tried to turn the tide with her tough and stubborn tactics, but she could not change the political situation.

So on August 10, 1793, the second uprising of the Paris people completely overthrew the monarchy and the feudal dynasty. Louis XVI and his wife Queen Mary were guillotined. This is how Queen Mary became the famous "Beheaded Queen" in history.

It is said that she has two famous sayings that have been passed down to this day. The first one is that when Queen Mary was living a luxurious and extravagant life in the court, a minister told her that the common people could not eat bread. The queen said innocently: Then why don't they eat cake?

In fact, according to historical data, this sentence was not said by Queen Mary. It was just the jealous and resentful people who, in order to vent their anger towards her, imposed this sentence on the Queen. Who told her What about poverty and luxury?

And the other sentence was indeed what she said. When Queen Mary was pushed to the guillotine, she accidentally stepped on the executioner's foot. At this time, the queen said naturally: "I'm sorry, you know, I didn’t mean it.”

As a pampered Austrian princess and a mother-in-law French queen, Mary possesses inherent nobility and education. When she accidentally hurt the executioner's foot, she reflexively apologized. In the face of people who wanted to chop her head off, she still showed decent courtesy and maintained her dignity. This is the upbringing in her bones, and this is the true nobility.
