by History Tea Time with Lindsay Holiday
Two-part biography of Marie Antoinette — her Habsburg childhood, her marriage into the Bourbon court, and her path to the guillotine.
Marie Antoinette's upbringing at the Habsburg court, her arranged marriage to the Dauphin (later Louis XVI), and her early years at Versailles trying to find a place in a court that distrusted her foreignness.
The Affair of the Diamond Necklace, the Revolution, the family's failed flight to Varennes, imprisonment in the Temple, the trial, and the queen's final months.
A pair of focused half-hour episodes that tell Marie Antoinette's story from the inside — her upbringing, her marriage, the gossip and intrigue of court life, and how an unremarkable Austrian archduchess became the face of an empire's collapse.
If you'd rather have the full Antonia Fraser biography, that's also in the library — same story, much longer.
