Queen Marie Antoinette's last words were, "Pardon me, sir, I did not do it on purpose" after she accidentally stepped on her executioner's shoe.
One can’t help but admire the Qualities of the Queen, she had courage under the most darkest circumstances. She is a martyr and her memory eternal.
A martyr for what?
Amen, a martyr of motherly and spously duties. She could have fled in the begining to Austria, but she stayed.
@@direfranchement Martyr for being a devoted mother and Queen at the same time
@@JeanAntoine213 Had it not been for her vanity and greed, she might have kept her head. She is no martyr of any cause.
Last year I went to France and visited as many sites to do with Marie Antoinette as I could and took many photos to remember my trip by, but when I visited the conceriege I couldn’t take a single photo, the sadness and horror I felt was too much, it goes to show how much of an atmosphere the place still leaves to this day and leaves in you
What do you being by “concierge”?
The Conciergerie prison in Paris @@toba802
@toba802 the Conciergerie, the last prison of Marie Antoinette
@@SiL-uj2zl ahh okay, thank you :)
@@toba802 welcome;) I have been there its quite a creepy place...
A lot of people tried to save Marie Antoinette, among them, her sisters, Maria Carolina, queen consort of Naples and Sicily, and her other sister Maria Amalia, duchess consort of Parma
What they did to Queen Marie Antoinette was full of hate, ignorance and cruelty. What they did to the Queen's son, was just so cruel. They treated him worse than a mistreated animal.
Likewise for the entire family,including King Louis XVI. He shouldve consecrated France to the Sacred Heart of Jesus,and placed the Sacred Heart on the Royal French flag. He was more concerned with respecting Man & not our Blessed Lord Jesus Christ. Still,1789 was an unGodly tragedy which still affects the Catholic West in 2023.
Disagreed.
What do these apologists really know?😤
@@E.C.2 dude wtf
Shows you how unhinged people can get out of sheer spiteful envy.
My favourite queen
Every time I hear her story or when someone even mentions her name I get goosebumps because of how misunderstood she was and how she was manipulated by those around her she was a teen queen of france and when she left she was the last legendary queen of france
She lived a lavish life full of luxury while her peaple were dying on street of hunger you admire her this? Yes some of the charges against her were false but that dosen't exuse her indifférence to her peaple's suffering she was brought as à teen as if that diden't happen 20 years before the révolution she was a good Mother but a shitty quen
Thank you so much
Ive sometimes felt a bit sorry for her.
Im so sad she lost her life.
💔😞😢😔🙏👑⚔️🛡️⚜️⚜️⚜️💐⛪➕✝️🌹
@@abdenacernasraoui4790Frances problems were because of Marie Antoinette. The people needed a symbol to demonize and they loved to hate her. Name one head of state that did not live lavishly? Even when their people were hungry? That doesn't mean you trump up charges and make up lies about what came put of her mouth (like let them eat cake.)
I wonder if her murder solved all of the problems......
@@robnewman6101she wasn't the reason for the peoples suffering though they LOOOOVE TO BLAME HER FOR ALL OF IT.
Necesitamos más películas así. Me ayudan a visualizar y mejor entender las cosas. No es lo mismo con dibujos y narración solo. Excelente video
*Oh how I love the brilliance of the art and fashion of this period. But, you could trust absolutely no one! 🤭*
She faced her end with such dignity. Terrifying times. And did the ordinary people get any of the monarchy money! Nope. Always the same. Look at Russia. Lots of bigwigs stole the money and the ordinary people were probably worse off. So sad 🙏🙏🙏👵🇦🇺
I wonder if she was relieved that it was all over. She had lost everything by that point. Her husband had been executed after a botched escape attempt. Two of her four children were dead. One of her surviving children had been forcibly ripped from her arms, manipulated into saying those horrible things and would later die of malnutrition, sickness and maltreatment. She didn’t know anything about her only surviving daughter. Her kingdom had fallen into anarchy. The man she loved most was forced to leave them behind before he too was ripped apart by the mob. Her birth family was at war with her but unable to get them out. One of the first true friends she had made at Versailles was brutally murdered by a mob, her head chopped off, hair done up, stuck on a pike and paraded in front of her window. Other friends and family members had either fled or were being hunted down.
What did she have left to live for at that point?
I had all these same thoughts as I watched this. When her sentence was read, I tried to put myself in her shoes and I had a hard time not feeling relieved that it would all be over soon. That was my first and most overwhelming feeling. I hope that's what Marie felt in her final moments. Not terror or fear, but peace and relief in knowing that her pain would be over very soon and very quickly. ❤
History has always fascinated me. Documentiries hold my interest. When they are not in English and the English translation is in script, bothers me and I lose out because
now in my 70s my eyes are bad and it's hard to keep. My pathetic loss.😔😢😪
it's okay ❤ take care
just turn the subtitles on in French
Wish someone could acquire more French language documentaries around the French Revolution and important figure, and then translate with subtitles for wider consumption on CZcams. There's a real deluge of information on the subject in English, compared to other periods/figures in history.
Das tragische Ende der Marie Antoinette. R.I.P 🌹
I'm not sure who was more tragic; Marie Antoinette or Anne Boleyn. Granted, there are some others but the violence in which Marie and Louis faced with their children that hits me. Granted, being beheaded by ones husband is also devastating; however, at least Anne wasn't chased through her home by an angry and a armed mob.
Anne Boleyn reaped what she tried to sow. She demanded the king execute queen Catherine. This came to haunt her as it undoubtedly put ideas in the king's head. Marie Antoinette never wished death on any "rival".
In my opinion, Marie Antoinette is more tragic
I'm going with Marie, I had no sympathy with Anne Boleyn
obviously Marie Antoinette
@@christbanner3219 Anne Boleyn didn't want to marry Henry VIII. She was supposed to marry James Butler the Earldom of Ormond. But Henry had Cardinal Wolsey interve because he wanted to her as a mistress.
Anne refused & said she'd only sleep with him if she was the Queen. It was such an insane idea that she *NEVER* thought he'd never take her up on it.
Anne Boleyn *NEVER* said she wished Catherine of Aragon dead. Nor did she have any of the deformities they say she had. All the negative stories about her character were made up. After her death by people who had an ax to grind against her.
Very interesting
Great admirer of Marie Antoinette
This reminds me of what American society is degenerating into.
Came here for this comment.
Never give into envy and hatred for other people.
Too bad you couldn't leave your little commercial Off the final screen... Too small to read anything in credits with freeze frame. Otherwise an awesome documentary. The closing credits ARE a big deal as nobody online seems to understand that DATES are important. Nobody puts recording dates on anything. Anybody hear of copyright?
This & a previous documentary makes me feel so sorry for Marie Antoinette. They should've just stripped her of her title & sent her back to her country, or exile, but the way they tried to destroy her, & destroy her son, as a mother, that would be torture enough for me! I know what it's like to be away from my child for an extended period, & to find out that he is being influenced in questionable ways. Yet Marie I feel, had it so much worse, because she was forced to marry into a country that was on the edge of revolution before she got there & the courts had been operating in a very lavish, overtly sexualized way for so long, that it was destroying them from the inside, out. So of course, she comes in as a young teen & just tries to do what everyone else is doing in order to be accepted by the royal court & ultimately ends up being the target of the ultimate forms of hate by people who had a bone to pick, off media stories that were both false misrepresentation or stories that were stretched beyond her true character & I feel like the one guy in the first several minutes said it straight... people WANT to find a target, or a scapegoat, when times are rough. They want there to be SOMEONE to blame & it was easy to target someone who had stories circulating about her that she probably wasn't even aware of how far those stories were going with lies (I can also relate to this), so my heart goes out to the soul of Marie & her son & even Louis. I hope their souls have found peace. .
Good night
I wish France was a Monarch today.
Its such a shame its not anymore.
The Kingdom gone forever.
Marie antoinette is more sinned against than sinning! She didn't ever fully reconcile herself or the King with the Rights of Man or the new Assembly. She encouraged the King to use his royal veto to frustrate reforms of the moderates. She bore ill will to the most moderate men who wanted a reformed state and constitutional monarchy. This damaged her. In the end, during the Terror, she was a huge heroine of resilience. She was a very kind person portrayed as a profligate harlot by the revolutionaries. They could have banished her.
Indeed, she was always manipulated by conservative royalists, mainly, Louis XVI's family. Marie Antoinette was always confined in Versailles. She was not open enough on the French society of her time. Even moderate reformers did not like her political attitude.
V Sad .
They really were just executing people left and right during the French Revolution.
They were, if you mentioned beheading you might lose your' head it was so bad it was a trigger word for frenzy
So scary
Opinions of people of France matters alot. What do you guys think of this incident?
I am even more saddened by all the thousands of poor Frenchmen who died for an absolutist state that stole all the wealth generated by the citizens and peasants.
Who was worse,Robespierre or Napoleon?
@@E.C.2 For me the both were the same. The French Revolution was led by an oligarchy and the method of terror was nothing new. The technique of terror is a method applied to establish social changes by force. Even the democratic USA did it.

Marie Antoinette opposed the revolution and insisted her husband veto every single attempt to establish a constitutional monarchy. I am NOT saying she should have been killed but she is not the angel she is sometimes depicted these days.

Im so sorry & sad that she lost her life.

I feel she was judged by her ppl . The ppl that lived under her . Her subjects. When she acted so strong. They all did . Meaning life was so different & difficult compared to life as it is now. She still didn’t care about her “people”. Not at all:(
Unfortunately, I watched with Russian subtitles and sometimes they didn't work. Did the topic of her illness come up? She was suffering from uterine cancer and was slowly dying from blood loss.
yes they did mention that
What a difference to Versailles, where she was clothed by others for the first time and her last hours in dungeon, where she was clothed for the last time.

No such thing as purgatory in the Bible.

Really it in french
This documentary equally enlightens yet sickens me! Marie Antoinette did NOT deserve the disgusting treatment she was given, and the fate of Louis XVII, which I know in graphic and heartbreaking detail allows me to say that the current French STATE, if such it can be called, was established upon lies, bastardry and bloodlust. I spit upon Napoleon's face (he destroyed the Chateau de Marly etc), thinking only about his insufferable Narcissism and I equally despise the Revolutionnaires and Communards. Marie had NOTHING to do with the Diamond Necklace affair and if she was driven to inform external agents for the assurance of the French Royal Family (and she was betrayed by Louis XVI's own brother), who on earth could blame her when things went so badly? My eternal sympathy for the Princesse de Lamballe, for Louis XVI and for Marie Antoinette! Perhaps most for their daughter, Marie Therese Duches of Angouleme, who was betrayed by her self-serving uncle, Louis XVI's own brother. So much for sibling loyalty! I spit upon his face too.
The more things change, the more things stay the same. Although there is no guillotine. A powerful woman must always be put in her place. Held to standards that men are never held to. Here it is, her husband who is the King with real powers, is never put through the additional humiliation Marie Antoinette is. Misogyny kills.
Some of the accusations they made against her were awful as well 😢
@@Satanna.avemaria True. Even during her reign, lies, rumors and gossip were presented as truth by the "tabloids". Essentially, priming the public to hate and eventually kill her.
Life would have been worse than death for her family? How about what she would have wanted? I guess Life
Was Marie Antoinette innocent?
Partly yes, partly no. She was expending a lot of money indeed while people died, but all nobles were it was exactly what was expected of her, to live in luxury. Marie-Ant. was not guilty from being born into the nobility, she wasnt guilty of that, raised in another world disconnected from the real one sent as a teen to a foreign country which used to be their enemy and it's hated there. When the revolution started, she was an easy target to direct the resentment the people had to the luxurious disconected life the nobles were having on the shoulders of the people.
Woman have always made great scapegoats
Tese are the people she tref to help ad rulecsnd some ruled eith her
Why not get them in the uk lol
Isn’t that what ur doing? The French Revolution ideology is alive & well. We’re living it!
Mean inhumane act of the then some powermonger republican of that era
..and this barbarism is justice? No,NEVER! ⚖️
Fascinating history. I am a descendant of King Henry IV of France. I have a rich history of many branches of European royalty in my family. This film depicts the most vile and wicked acts of people who were not my family and it is outrageous what they did to the royal family. It truly saddens me.
Victim of years of France royalty traditions.
Vive la Republique, vive Robespierre!!

@Gone Fishing they are both Latin based or romance languages. As are Spanish and Portuguese
@@user-yk7jr6lp3n No, just no.
From the start the French people didn’t like her, BUT she made no effort to change that until it was too late, if anything she only made it worse with her decadence
Nah - was this a movie or documentary it was not enjoyable whatever genre' it falls under
It was not meant to be 'enjoyable' Stick with Snow White if you are not adult enough to understand it. Or Dumbo. Seems you have the same name.
"Let them eat cake" her famous quote.....
However the poor starving peasants were through with her 🤨
A quote that was attributed to her about 50 years later. No evidence that she actually said it.
No evidence that she actually said it though
Its believed that it was an earlier French princess said those words and it was brioche not cake
made up statement to humiliate her
