During the Reign of Terror, at the height of the French Revolution, Marie Antoinette's husband was deposed and the royal family was imprisoned. Marie Antoinette was tried, convicted of treason and executed by guillotine on 16 October 1793, nine months after her husband.
Marie Antoinette has been given credit for the phrase "Let them eat cake." I think she was some sort of gay activist.
