    Marie Antoinette was actually quite generous.
    1. She donated a lot to charity. There's a letter she sent to her family in Austria that she cared and was concerned about the poor people in France
    2. For "Let them eat cake", it's actually Rosseau who spread that propaganda. He probably referred to Queen Maria-Thérèse, the wife of Louis XIV who lived a century prior.
    3. She actually popularized the simple white dress to women in France.
    *"I was a queen, and you dethroned me. I was a wife, and you killed my husband. I was a mother, and you tore me from my children. Only my blood remains: you are thirsty. Drink it. Hasten to meet it that you may drink it."*
    -Marie Antoinette, 1793

      @latefanelum1303 8 개월 전 +335

      She donated to charity but was a strict conservative who wanted her family to remain absolute monarchs, so clearly she liked the idea of people venerating her for her « charity » more than actually helping them. She also wanted to raise an army from Austria to invade her « own people », all to keep power. She did not say « let them eat cake » but her actions are the reason why people assume she did.

    • @LendriMujina
      @LendriMujina 7 개월 전 +335

      At the very least, she faced her fate with dignity. Her last words were "Pardon me, sir, I didn't mean to do that"... referring not to what she was accused of, but to having accidentally stepped on someone's foot on her way to the guillotine.

      The same is true for Louis actually. I heard how he was not exactly anti-reformation but rather anti-revolution.
      Granted he did not help his case half the time but history paints him in a much worse light then he actually was.

    • @MM22966
      @MM22966 7 개월 전 +63

      One way I heard it described (I don't know how true it is) is that her famous quote wasn't so much a cruel/uncaring response to the starvation, as it was an ivory-tower liberal ditz's response: If the peasantry lacked bread makings, then simply feed them with cake dough (which was more expensive) to get them through the emergency . Ta-da, problem solved!
      Living in Versailles, where the wealthy ate well, it must have sounded to her like a perfectly reasonable plan. It was a problem of total lack of frame of reference, rather than callousness. (although that was a problem, too)

    • @LendriMujina
      @LendriMujina 7 개월 전 +40

      @@MM22966 Yeah, that's why I never really had a problem with the quote, despite it not being something she actually said; it was accurate to her attitude and what basically everyone thought of the royal family, that they couldn't comprehend what the problem was.

    For anyone interested in a little background: Louis XIV introduced a really elaborate form of court etiquette as a way to keep control of his nobles. If they were fighting over who got to hand the King his gloves and who got to help the Queen put on her rouge then they wouldn’t have time to fight with him over important stuff. It sort of worked, and he actually had the longest reign of any monarch (that can be verified), 72 years. His grandson, Louis XV kept the system going, but he was a dilettante who spent his time chasing skirts and moping about his lot in life so the state began to stagnate. He reigned for a long time, almost 59 years. Louis XVI was his grandson and by the time he came to the throne things were in a bad way. France was getting kicked by Britain on the one side and Prussia on the other. It would have taken an extraordinarily strong ruler to turn things around and sadly Louis didn’t qualify.
