Monarch

The Resume

    (November 2, 1755-October 16, 1793)
    Last Queen of France (1774-1793)

Why she might be annoying:

    She married Louis XVI at 15 years old.
    When she heard that people could not afford bread, she said, 'Let them eat Cake.' (see below)
    While the people of France were starving, she lead a very lavish and extravagant lifestyle.
    She whored herself to Cardinal de Rohan for a diamond necklace (1785).
    She opposed the French Revolution and pleaded unsuccessfully for assistance from her brother Leopold II, the Holy Roman Emperor.
    She opposed her husband, Louis XVI, negotiating with moderates during the revolution.
    When the revolutionaries were taking control of France, she secretly planned to attack her birth land of Austria, so that Austria would attack France, destroy the revolutionaries and she could again take power (that failed).
    She was guillotined at the end of the French Revolution (Oct. 16, 1793).

Why she might not be annoying:

    Born into Austrian royalty, she wed King Louis XIV, joining Austria with France.
    She made sure that her children got the best of everything.
    There is evidence that supports that Marie Antoinette did not utter the words 'Let Them Eat Cake' and that it was attributed to her by revolutionaries.
    There is a legend that says that the Champagne flute is a mold of her breast.
