MARIE ANTOINETTE
was
barely 14 years old when she left Austria and her mother empress Maria
Theresa to marry the Dauphin in France. She is still a stubborn and
dissipated young child who must comply with French rules, which are
numerous and complicated. The young princess quickly suffers from not
being able to live her life as she sees fit. She is constantly under
pressure to carry on the Bourbon line. A mission more complicated than
expected: even if the relationship between Marie Antoinette and Louis
XVI improves over time, it will take them seven years to consummate
their marriage. From the young runner-up to the queen of style, a true
fashion icon, Marie Antoinette quickly impresses with her charisma and
naturalness. She will gradually understand the codes and secrets of the
French court and completely recreate Versailles in her image! But her
success stirs up jealousy and rivalry. Defamatory pamphlets and
persistent rumors about her private life undermine her reputation. It
will take a lot of courage and dignity to defeat her numerous enemies at
the Versailles court.

What 14 year old doesn’t want to live their life as they see fit? I sure wouldn’t have wanted to be forced to marry. She sure did use the situation to her advantage though, and I’m sure Versailles is all the better for it.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't mind being forced to marry if it was a king they wanted to marry me for LOL
DeleteBut, does she fix her image with the Versailles court??? The most knowledge I have of her is that she loved to eat cake and triggered the French Revolution. Then again, I got that information from a cartoon called Mr. Peabody so I'm sure it's not that historically accurate. LOL
ReplyDeleteThis series does give her more depth, whether based on facts or agenda, it remains to be seen.
