- Daughter to Marie Antoinette and King Louis XVI of France, Madame Royale had a tragic life just because she happened to be the king’s child. Her sorrows left scars of her life but she proved unimaginable courage by being able to survive one of the most tragic events in history: the French Revolution of 1789.
Today we will follow her story.

When Marie Therese finally was allowed put of prison and to leave🇫🇷 Paris, she headed south towards Austria to go home. She stopped at an Inn owned by my ancestors in Village Neuf on the French border with Switzerland. She spent many nights there. The lore in my family recalls that she was an extremely timid, polite and humble girl. She even volunteered to do chores. The Inn ( my ancestors) kept it a secret she was staying there. They were so touched by her that they saved her pillow slip and a piece of hair. Until now, every generation in our family has a child named Marie-Therese or Therese-Marie.
Very interesting. Thank you for watching, Helene.
Does your family still have the hair? Having her DNA may reveal interesting things to scientists
🥺🥺🥺
Yeah sure… and my ancestors were Zeus, Platón and Socrates.

Her story has always haunted me. She basically lived as a trauma victim long before there was any understanding of or interest in such a concept. I like to envision her reuniting with her parents and siblings on the 'other side'.
Yes, I also want to believe she was reunited with her parents. You know, it was said she was the saddest human being on earth. Thank you for watching.

Yes, and we know all of this family are in Heaven on the other side. They all, King, Queen & children showed genuine faith until the very end of their lives.
Amazing videos. Some additional fun facts:
1. She was usually called "Charlotte" by her family members. In those days, it was normal to be called by your last Christian name.
2. She was named after her mother's favourite sister, Maria Carolina, who was known as "Charlotte" within the family.
3. While she didn't have children of her own, her brother-in-law's children, Louise and Henry V called her "their true mother".
4. She had an adoptive sister nicknamed "Ernestine", who was her playmate and look-a-like. They were separated in the revolution and as an adult, Marie Thérèse Charlotte went looking for her, but was sad to find out she had died.
Michiel, absolutely true. There are so many interesting things about her life. Thank you for commenting.
Michiel Korte, I had known most of the facts about her life, there are a few books about her life, but I don't remember any of the books about her life mentioning anything about her adoptive sister's fate after the revolution.
That slightly reminds me of Les Miserables
I was wondering why children were not mentioned.She didn't have any, poor princess.
Adding to... P
Point 2: Marie Carolina's daughter, who was named Maria Teresa, exactly like her, as a hommage to Empress Maria Theresia, welcomed her back to Austria.
Point 4: she had two further adoptive brothers, that's to say a kid named Armand and another one named Jean Amilcar, an Senegalese kid who was gifted to Marie Antoinette as a slave, but that she adopted as her own son.
As a child we dream of being princess but in reality most princesses and Queens were unhappy
Very well said! Thank you very much for watching.
i bet the peasants that didnt had anything to eat were happy as a clam
I regret looking up what happened to the children. It still hurts thinking about it to this day. Like the other comments I too feel so sad when it comes to Marie Antoinette’s children. They tortured that little boy all because he was the rightful heir to the throne and they knew it. The little boy never rested even after death when the examiner took his heart. I will never understand why people do such disgusting acts towards children. Poor Marie Therese had to learn to grow thick skin and anger to survive her surroundings. I hope her soul was able to rest peacefully.
i agree. the children couldn't possibly have been any more innocent and undeserving of their fate, they were just young.
You havr to think if they tortured the little boy what did those guards do to her that was never told. Did they beat and raped her? Maybe that's why she never had kids maybe she wasn't able to because of what they did to her.
Funny how everyone's mourning those poor rich children while totally forgetting how disgustingly harsh the life was for hundreds of thousands of poor children who happened to suffer from their sovereigns total inability to rule their kingdom correctly. Ironically enough, the king and the queen could've prevented what happened to their family... by simply giving a s*** about their people and governing with wisdom. They didn't, there was their reward.
God give peace to their souls
I agree with you. That just goes to tell you how inhumane human beings could be. Ignorance will always exist even to this day and age, but I will never understand how basic human kindness escapes generations.
That poor little boy dying alone is more than I can handle 😭
😓😭😭😭😭
Just horrible!
@Keir Winter but what did that 10 year old boy do ?
@Keir Winter That little boy did not deserve what happened to him. He was not responsible for the sins of the monarchy that had gone on long before he was born. No child deserves that.
@Keir Winter the French royal house quite emptied their coffers by supporting the American war for independence.
I know all about Marie Antoinette but prior to this had no idea that her daughter survived and was so brave. The lives of royals must go through terrifying uncertainty as times change. Very interesting.
Thank you for watching, Sue.
Did you know that 10 year old boy , Marie Antoinette son didn't die, their family doctor was able to take him out of prison and replaced him to another mentally challenged boy. Then
Marie Antoinette son was brought to America and he was taking care of.
@@healingthroughenergy What a lovely fairytale.
Not as bad as the homeless and starving
@@healingthroughenergy wow. I want to know more? Have you any links?
I've read a few books about her life. Her life was rather tragic after the revolution. May she Rest in Peace with her parents!
Thank you for watching, Cindy.
And she vented her hatred to the people. Her mother might have been innocent but she deserves hell.
@@clawcross Seriously?
You mean her "Let them eat cake" parents?
@@brucemacmillan7128 It has been shown that M.A. never made that statement. Whatever else she did (spending a fortune on clothes and jewelry) she just did not say Let them eat cake.
I'm glad their daughter survived cruel and brutal things they did to their family I read her book how they tortured her brother and what they did to him that she heard him screaming it was awful how they treated the children I was glad at least one of the children survive
Thank God, she was able to survive. Thank you for watching.
Then in the 20th Century the Bolsheviks came along and did the same to the Royal children. What they did was evil.
Yes, when I on the last chapters of Antonia Fraser's biography of Marie Antoinette, "The Journey," I was constantly in tears. Some pages are slightly stiff at the edges from me wiping my eyes and turning them during my first read of the book. The suffering of the children, especially the Dauphin, made me very, very angry and sad at the same time. I hope that those who inflicted the cruelties on him, and all those of the royal family of France as well as the countless casualties among the people who died during the Reign of Terror will be judged. Poor Princesse de Lamballe, too.
I have only one thought in my head as I was watching the part about her brother "how can they do that to a child"?
I know poor babies 😢
I pray for the little King boy who died alone and hungry, sad in prison. May His spirit rest in peace together with his family 😢😢😢
Can't imagine her grief on losing her entire family. No wonder she was always sad. Thanks for your efforts in making this video.
It is indeed very difficult to comprehend what she went through. Thank you for watching Ambreen.
Brilliantly well done. I wrote my thesis on Marie Thérèse and specifically asked why she has been largely overlooked in the historical narrative. Thanks to work like yours, people are learning that she not only existed, but that she lived and contributed to the political history of France well into the next century.
Indeed. Thank you, Hollie, for commenting and watching.
Oh, the Almighty!?! A lady who belongs to the Marie Antoinette lineage once in Paris threw a remarkable emotion about having many European bloods in her veins except of Russian but deep inside she felt Russian. And even spoke Russian as a foreign language though looking in fact Russian: green eyes and red hair on her original french background and mentality. A very nice descendant of Marie Antoinette with a castle 4 hours of ride from Paris in a certain destination. So very nice memories of 3 days life in there where everything was so much authentic to her french royal background...
I thought she died with her mother. Sp that says it! Right? I totally agree with you Holie
Women are too often left out of history !!!
The history repeats itself. The French Royals,like every Royal Family,were adopted children from the Orphanage,with the idea of the Couple to gain money from the Lifeinsurancepolicies so much so it was the idea of the Children to get into the Casle.Sometimes You win,sometimes You loose.Mostly the Children have survived their Parents,but it wasn’t pleasant life inside the cold,dusty walls,without the bath or clean water.So most people have quickly taken a proper job.Those who thought too much,died there,from cold or humid weather/\PL
Ther were many tourists,who seeked shelter,after becoming homeless,or trying to flee to other countries,by plane or by boat.
Paris was once a seeharbour,so was Münster,Berlin,Krakow,Warszawa,Rzym,Ankara,Ateny,Jerozolima,Sus...
May she and the souls of her family rest in peace.
Thank you for watching.
I believe they were met by God with open arms. They are all at peace. May GOD bless them ALL.
No but Marie Antoinette and Louis were actually such great parents to their kids :(
Queen Marie-Antoinette showed her class and style to the very end.
As she walked to the guillotine, she accidentally stepped on the executioner's foot.
Marie Antoinette said politely - "Pardon me, Sir, I did not mean for it to happen".
Those were the last words of Queen Marie Antoinette of France.
Class, composure and above all, courage.
I hope that Marie-Antoinette found peace.
THAT is what separated Her Most Christian Majesty from someone like a Napoleon Buonaparte. One was born with class and breeding while the other was a low life who did not care how many people he killed.
Amen
She was the one that got away and at the same time you can never get away from such things.
Under Salic Law, a woman couldn't inherit the French throne. Marie-Therese's ineligibility actually saved her life: if she'd been in line for the succession she'd probably have met the same fate as her brother!
But when Charles X abdicated at the start of the July Revolution, there was an unsuccessful attempt to have her husband succeed, in which case she'd have become Queen Consort of France like her mother!
Precisely. Thank you for adding your comment and for watching.
When Charles X abdicated he wrote an abdication for his son to sit on the throne but Louis Philippe lied and was proxlaimed king
I have a book called Marie-Therese: The Fate of Marie-Antoinette's Daughter by Susan Nagel. It's a brilliant and very moving life of a remarkable French princess who survived the horrors of the French Revolution which her parents were beheaded and her younger brother, Louis Charles, dying of TB when the two Royal children were imprisoned in the Tower.
I knew quite a bit about her brother, but not about her. It is so heartbreaking what she went through. This was very interesting and well thought out, thank you!
Thank you for your comment.
What really annoys me is that throughout her life people would approach her pretending to be her Brother….LIKE LET THE GIRL GRIEVE!! LEAVE HER ALONE!!
Erroneously, I had always assumed she had died in prison. I had no idea!
The video is informative and well done.
More history classes should be conducted on such a stellar level.
🙏🏻
Cheryl, thank you for your kind words.
Glad that Marie Antoinette and her family are still being remembered till this day.
Maybe you should remember the ordinary victims of the ancien regime. Why do you think there was a revolution?
@@debmcr1 can you stop spamming stuff abt that? The video is literally about Marie's daughter and not the full history of the French Revolution which has OVER 100 videos about that
@@silvergust Thank you,I totally agree with you!
@@debmcr1 Oh please!This video is about Marie Antoinette's daughter and nothing more!
Thank you for this video. I had read a little about her before, and I knew she was the only one of Marie Antoinette’s children who survived to adulthood. I also knew she had no children, so there are no direct descendants of Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI. I had also read that she wasn’t told that her parents had died until a year or two later, which is even more sad for her.
I also subscribed. 💕
Thank you Kay. The king's family suffered a great deal. Madame Royale was a monument of sadness.
Napoleon Bonaparte married the great niece of Marie Antoinette.
@@gloriahanes5338 But no direct descendants of Napoleon either
How bitter her life was!! I read two books about her mother and I almost ignored what happened to her. Poor woman, she witnessed the fall of monarchy and she suffered in prison before the death of her parents. I hope she is in heaven with her parents and her little siblings
Thank you for watching, Giovanna.
I came across a very very old book about Louis Charles. The book was from the late 1800's. It was about his life and his family imprisonment. I don't think I ever cried so much reading a book. I mean, I cried and cried at the savage cruelty. They starved him, broke his bones, he almost died of pneumonia or tuberculosis, they'd denied him water, beat him, deny him warmth.. Absolute horrible, horrible mistreated of this little child. There were several attempted to rescue the children several times by family members, allied, friends.. but to no avail and failed. From what I remember there was one person who was either a prison guard or priest who took pity on him and showed him some kindness and care.. But this was short lived.. Louis Charles died.. Later I believe a family member or political ally came for Marie Therese and she was granted freedom.
Heartbreaking. Thank you for watching.
Ah, you told and illustrated her lifestory so beautifully, thank you.
Thank you for your kind words.
She was a survivor! A brave and resilient woman.
I am obsessed with Marie Antoinette. So nice to see a video on her daughter.
Thank you for watching.
Because? She had what was coming.
@@micheldekam3491 Then you don't know history, just propaganda.
Her body, . . . . and head were retrieved and buried in an unknown location. It may have been by the Church.
@@frenchbreadstupidity7054
You're the victim of propaganda..... In reality, she was just a casualty and a very uninteresting person.... A typical example of "the wrong place at the wrong time"! Who cares about insipid Marie-Antoinette, when history is full of strong and intelligent women!!!
"The Italian villa" where the Bourbon royal family lived was in border town of Gorizia/Gorica shared by Slovenia and Italy, which used to be a prestigious resort town of the Habsburg monarchy. She is buried in the crypt of the Bourbons at the Kostanjevica monastery in Slovenia, above Gorica, together with numerous other members of the French royal family, including her husband duke d'Angouleme and Charles X., who both died in the aforementioned town of Gorica and the last king of France Henry V..
Charles X was a reactionary, repressive king, which is why he was driven from the throne. The Bourbons apparently learned nothing from the French Revolution.
@@debmcr1 Louis XVIII learned from it. His brother did not.
Marie Antoinette and Louis XIV were wonderful parents. They loved their kids and taught them morals. Poor Marie Therese... She lost both of her parents as well as all of her siblings and her beloved Aunt Elisabeth by the time she was 15...
Yes, they were very caring and loving parents. How difficult it must have been for Marie Therese without them!
We all need to, know our history so this never happens again. You don't put any sins of the parents true or not on the children.
Well done video
Thank you for watching.
It happens repeatedly. Look at what they did to the Russian royal family at the turn of the century. How they murdered everyone including those beautiful innocent Princesses and the Prince. And the worst part is the present English queen Elizabeths uncle could have saved them, but, instead blocked their entry to England and sentenced them to death. They would eat their own to stay on the throne.
@@samanthakarl8916 It was horrible that the British royalty abandoned them, but they, the Brits, had to think of their own necks. They were afraid to risk having the Romanov royal be unpopular which might have posed a threat to them. It was a horrible situation no matter how we look at it. I have often wondered how the British royal family felt about it when they and the rest of the world learned about what happened to them.
But then look at how they treated close family members who had anything wrong with them, like that one grandchild I think it was of Victoria's who had epilepsy and was kind of not mentioned and rarely visited. I guess their own survival, which depends in large part on popular opinion, is foremost.
History continues and its the same communism continues communism is brought to us by hell.
I can’t explain how distraught I would have been as a child having my mother torn away from me and killed. I just can’t imagine how the children were feeling. It’s absolute cruelty.
Exactly, unimaginable cruelty. Thank you for watching.
If the King and Queen would have dressed in peasant's clothes, and pinned money to their undergarments no one would have recognized them being drawn away in an ox cart. This I know because this is what my ancestors did to escape France in 1789. Luckily, they were at their cottage in Avignon when the outbreak occurred in Paris, France.
I thought they did do that but He was recognized by his face on their coins?
I also heard that they recognized the scent of Marie Antoinettes perfume which was basically her own line of perfume in those days. It could be false though
@@ameliepilie4717 wait she had a brand??... Wow
Beautiful x
They were just children. How could be possible such cruelty.? There is so much evil on this people that could act like that. And excuse themselves behavior on political reasons.
Indeed. I agree with you. Thank you for watching.
And the idiot Marie Therese was ousted again 15 years later after the restauration by a second revolution. This useless woman had learned nothing , so the French forced her to remember and got rid definitely of her. She never saw France again ! Good riddance !
Yeah. Like religious people even. At least she wasn't made a slave. There are so many horrible examples in history. Poore princess.
Cruelty to children has always existed. This is the dark side of humanity.
@@antoinemozart243 You’re very mean, Antoine. She believed she was restoring the rightful order of things and who can blame her bitterness against the Revolutionaries who killed her family? You would feel the same if that was your education.
Everytime I hear stories from the French Revolution, I feel less and less sympathy for the people who orchestrated it. Two wrongs do not make a right.
And it was the aristocracy who influenced making it happen, French Revolution leaders like Robespierre looked up on the works and philosophies of Voltaire and Rousseau. The Enlightenment did indeed paved way for political radicalization of naive students, sympathetic on an issue and blaming it on the system, such as that of the famines of France which led to the starvation of most of the peoples failing to adapt to growing other crops other than grain and the Absolute Monarchy was scapegoated for the blame for its undemocratic ideals.
Thank you for commenting and for watching.
@@livesandhistories No problem, great video by the way
@@thekingshussar1808 Scapegoated? I'm sure the King didn't miss a meal during those famines
Nice platitude. Perhaps you would feel differently if you were one of the French mothers in Paris trying desperately to find bread for their families. These people were desperate. Why do you think the French celebrate Bastille Day (day the Bastille prison fell in Paris).
Your beautiful voice, and the kind and heart spoken way you told their story had me in tears. The children didn't deserve this cruelty they suffered.
Thank you so much for your kind words.
The poor children didn't deserve to die of starvation and poverty either.
Nobody talks about how oppressive the monarchs were to the those in the lower strata. The king never really cared for his subjects.... but i feel sorry for his children.
French history is something I don't know a great deal about.But I was under the impression Louis & MA were sympathetic to their people's problems & wanted to help.Whereas Louis 'The Well Beloved'(as he was at first)& many of those before him,didn't give a shake about them.The one whose name escapes me,son of Jeanne of Navarre was one who cared & he was also murdered by a fanatic.
@Beaudile But he was incompetent and could never stand up to the nobles. His people were starving, and he couldn't implement the necessary changes needed. I am sorry what happened to his children, but he needed to go.
@Beaudile He only cared about his lavish life in Versaille. When the lower class was starving and couldn't afford even bread, he was wasting their resources on a foreign war just to boost his ego.
The fall of the French monarchy was absolutely heartbreaking 💔 my heart goes out to Louis and Marie Antoinette, they and their children did not deserve what had happened to them especially the children 🧒 may their spirits rest easy, I just can't believe the royal family ended this way.
They absolutely deserved it lol
I wish somehow Marie and Louis can come back to life and become regular civilians.
What a truly astonishing story. To have lived through that, to have lived when your Mother went through that, your Father, your brother and years later to look back and visualize the Place where your Mother is being executed, standing before crowds - remembering her bravery - all alone - her Mother's best friend mutilated - The Princess de Lamballe - your Father executed - all their friends you have known when you grew up - and you are the last one ( or so ) left living in Italy years later looking back to all the sounds, scenes, memories. No matter what your politics, bravery is brave.
It difficult to believe that people could do all those horrible things. The Royal family went through unimaginable ordeals. I totally agree with your opinion. Thank you for watching.
@@livesandhistories while I would certainly never condone the violence that the French royalty dealt with, I still think that it could have been prevented to some extent. People lived worse than dead. Imagine watching your own children dying of hunger and illness and being powerless while the aristocrats stuff their faces with luxury goods. That would make anyone rage.
Not many people could match her setting around a campfire telling ghost stories or war stories.
@@clairemora7715. Come on! You know nothing of History. France was very prosperous in the 18th century. The population grew up from 15 million to 28 million. Harvests were bad after 1784, but don’t accuse the king of the Icelandic volcano eruption which wrecked the weather for several years.
@@clairemora7715 Agree 100 💯 percent!
I'm learning about the French Revolution in history class, and this is very helpful! Thank you for making this
Glad it was helpful! Fingers crossed for you to get the highest grade. Thank you for watching.
@Lives & Histories thank you :D your videos are really good
One of the driving factors of the revolution was extreme weather in Europe causing starvation among the French population. The volcanic eruption in Iceland (affecting sunlight and growth of crops), drought, brutal cold in winter caused by suspected low sunspot activity, as well as the change of the North Atlantic oscillation of the jet stream and one of the worst hailstorms on record decimated all the crops. Also, the French did not adapt by going to a more hardy type of potato (with high nutritional value) that the English and Germans used to survive the lack of viable crops.
I spent 24 years on this planet not knowing she had a daughter😳
Thank you for watching.

A fascinating although sad and tragic story...thank you for this, i only knew some of this history, a very interesting insight with wonderful pictures.
Thank you for watching Christine.
I studied the history of Marie Antoinette and her family intensely for 1 year...1990-91. Then wrote a movie script of her true story...for the 200th anniversary of her death in 1993.
The true story came from historians of her time, whose work was suppressed.
Most of what we know of her and her daughter comes from a twisted, intense propaganda campaign conducted by her secret political enemies--the two brothers and a cousin of King Louis XVI.
They coveted the throne and were EXTREMELY persistent about each one of them sitting on it in turns ...even if it meant tearing down and resurrecting the monarchy TWICE in order to do it.
But it was they who lied to the people and incited them to the bloody revolution that murdered so many people...including Marie-Antoinette, her husband and her son.
It is SO ironic that her daughter Marie ended up marrying the son of the Compte d'Artois, for he was one of the three co-conspirators in the over throw of Louis and Marie Antoinette. The Other two were the Compte de Provence, and the Duc d'Orleans.
They also murdered Napoleon on the Island of St.Helena ( he did not die of cancer as the paid off doctor claimed). And it was they, in the mid 1700s who convinced the Parlement (all nobles)that France should bankroll the American Revolution against England, which bankrupted France and caused dire poverty. But the three viciously ambitious men blamed it all on Marie-Antoinette's degree of royal spending ( which was at an average level for European royals).
It was done through a pamphletteering campaign...and so it was these three men who deliberately sparked the horrible French Revolution. They secretly manipulated EVERYONE, including Marie-Antoinette, Louis XVI, their daughter Marie, and the people of France.
However, even until their deaths Louis XVI, Marie Antoinette and their daughter Marie thought the three men were their loyal supporters. They never knew of the three men's secret calumny.
Even today most people in France and around the world blame Marie--but their beliefs are just based on the political propaganda the three men put about.
And to think that poor duped Marie MARRIED the son of one of the three liars who always pretended to be everyone's innocent helpful friends.
Marie was a good Queen who tried to help govern as best she could when the king dropped the ball. He couldn't face what was happening. But even he, in his male jealousy and resentment of her potentially effective efforts, tried to trip her up. He would not do his job, but he resented her trying to do it for him and the country ...all because he had become administratively catatonic. Dog in the manger!
Oh! The male ego and power-tripping involved throughout this historical calamity...from beginning to end!
Interesting points you have made there. Thank you for watching Brenda.
But why Louis the XVIII did not manage to become King before Napoleon？
So much pain and tragedy in one family. Thank you subbed👍🏼

Indeed. Thank you for watching.
Young Louis Charles was neglected in the temple prison, as it was known, until the last year of his life which was when the political climate began to change at which stage there was some efforts at least to treat the little one with more recognition and dignity, however, little sausage was extremely unwell by that stage after which, he shortly became one of the "dearly-departed"! He was only 10 years of age! There is a fantastic book written by Debora Cadbury called , "The lost king of France" - highly recommended - and a brilliantly written account depicted from testimonial witness diaries of all the shenanigans of what actually went on during that fateful era? Well worth a read!
So sad…. Imagine being taken from your country…sold, beaten , taken away from your family and renamed to where you have no clue true identity … so no one can really remember you. Just terrible. Rest easy
The video was very special indeed. Thank you .
Thank you ever so much for saying that.
Her poor little brother. She was, in this case, lucky to be female.
This was a heart-breaking, but fascinating story. I am inspired by her faith and humility. And I love listening to the sound of your voice.
Thank you so much. I'm really glad you are here.
So tragic! May she rest in peace with her beloved family!
wow, when i was in highschool the french revolution was probably my favorite subject in world history. but in that class it was to my understanding that Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette couldn’t have children due to Louis being impotent, also that Louis and Marie were caught trying to escape france not taken from a temple!!! i feel like i’ve learned so much from this video!!
I'm really glad you found this video useful. Thank you for watching.
This tale is very much like so many others. The Romanovs of Russia also suffered a similar fate. I have a direct lineage to the House of Hanover. These horrific accounts are very close to my heart. I do not benefit from this connection. Just knowing my ancestors suffered in this way is more than one can take. I am fortunate. I went on to become a lawyer fighting for Social Justice. Human beings are so cruel.
God bless
This would be such a good story for a movie, i mean wow what an eventful life!
I hope whomever watches this pauses the end and really open their heart to that painting. So much is being said.
Lovely video about an amazing woman. I am surprised that you didn't mention she was Queen Consort of France for about 20 minutes, between the time when her father-in-law abdicated and her husband did the same. I know it's a technicality, but one has to imagine she gained some small satisfaction that for a brief moment in time the only surviving heir to her parents once more occupied the French throne. I look forward to more of your videos. Thanks for posting!
Thank you for your comment and for watching.
I absolutely adore your channel ! I am fascinated by the french court at the time of the French Revolution and your narration is impeccable! Thank you for a beautiful Recap !
Thank you so much Lisa. I'm really glad you are enjoying my videos.
The more I learn about the life of this type of historical figure, the more I realize that their lives were anything but easy. Poor girl, how much suffering! Rest in peace.
I agree with you, Luis. Thank you for watching.
A very sad story, but one is forced to wonder whether this woman ever had any misgivings about the poverty indirectly inflicted on her fellow country-people by the regime her parents had presided over. I tend to doubt it.
The way this is narrated reminds me of how lady Diana used to do her speeches, before her training, tho.
A wonderful history told beautifully.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching.
It was tragic the way they treated her and her family . She had to see her family die and carry on living with the memories .
Fascinating and so, so sad. I knew about her, but this video gave more details. What a roller coaster she was on. I am amazed that she was not guillotined, too. Thanks very much.
Thank you for watching.
OMG! my english is very bad but I could understand this perfect! I'm so happy to find this channel so you will help me to practise and improve so much my english. Cheers from Chile :)
Welcome! Thanks for watching Paula.
Oh how I wish they had escaped. They should not have had such a fancy carriage. The cruelty of the revolution is beyond evil.
Outstanding. Filled in a lot of gaps.
Thank you for watching, Mark.
I love your voice and the way you told her story
Thank you so much, Hilary.
I think non-royals can learn a lot from the nobility in how they dealt with the highs and lows of their lives and how they bore themselves with great courage and dignity from the moment they came into this world to the hour of their deaths, albeit natural death to that of dying of their wounds at the hands of their assassins. Louis XIV of France said on his deathbed to those present who were in tears, "Why are you weeping? Did you think me as immortal? I thought living was hard enough as it is!" Charles I ('the Martyr Monarch') of England told his chaplain, William Laud the then Archbishop of Canterbury prior to his execution at the hands of his distant cousin Oliver Cromwell, "I go from this world from a corruptible crown to an incorruptible crown, where no disturbance can be, no disturbance in the world." On the night of her execution, Mary Stuart turned to one of her ladies in waiting, she said, "Did I not tell you, my dear Miss Kennedy, this was going to happen?" When asked what she wanted to have read to her, she asked to have read about the life of the Good Thief and upon reaching its climax, she sobbed, "Alas, he was indeed a great sinner, but not as great a sinner as I have been. Lord Jesus, just as Your arms were stretched out on the cross to save sinners, have pity on me and save me!" A few days earlier, she told one of her advisers she wished to gain a reprieve from her cousin but they told her of the consequences if that were to happen. "It would mean the death of our religion," she was told. Elizabeth was already combing England with massive persecutions of Catholics and even some non-Catholics as did her half-sister Mary Tudor, several years before her and their father Henry VIII. Her chaplain told Mary Stuart if she were to die a martyr, the Catholic church would continue to flourish, even under persecution quoting the lines of one of the early church scholars Tertullian, who witnessed firsthand the savage butchery of Christians bein slaughtered for sport in the Roman Coliseum, "The blood of Christians is the true seed of the Church!"
The worst is probably her 10 year bother who died alone in a cell. Never never forgive that crualty from the French Revolution !!! Long live the King ⚜️⚜️
Very sad, indeed. Thank you for watching.
@@livesandhistories How many working-class children perished from poverty and malnutrition during the reign of the extravagant Bourbons? When things became intolerable, the French people revolted.
@@debmcr1 your sentence is No freedom for the ennemies of freedom and that leads to dictatorship. Yes the Ancient Regime failed to protect the people of France but the son of the King was innocent. Killing a child is always a political mistake.
@@debmcr1 is one child more important than another? Should he have deserved death because he was born into a different circumstance? None of them should have died. It is that line of thinking that is dangerous.
The 4 kids are: 1Marie Theresse Charlotte 2 Louis Josef François Xavier 3 Louis Charles and 4 Sofie Beatrice Helene and Marie Antoinette took care of 3 other kids Ernestine Lambriquet
Armand and Zoe
Everyone talks about Marie Antoinette I had no idea about her daughter and everything that she went through.
M. A. and Louis the XVI., her parents, were the most friendly pair on the french throne during the last 200 years and they were cruelly attacked and beheaded. Both two Louises before this one behave selfishly and the only able one, Louis the XIV., was also horribly cruel against his oponents and he had respect. It is not good to play a friend if you are a king. Everybody has his role and it´s dangerous to try to change it. None crowd on the Earth was ever totally righteous and reasonable.
Thank you for telling the story of this wonderful woman the true Queen of France 🇫🇷 ❤
Thank you for watching.
I think technically her claim to the throne was never very solid though, as France’s investiture laws didn’t allow for a woman to rule in her own right.
@@bradydomann3102 You are correct. Marie Antoinette was the last true queen of France.
@@bradydomann3102
Her husband Louis-Antoine was Charles X's eldest son.
If not for the Revolution of July, he would've been king as Louis XIX (this is actually how current French legitimists call him) and she would've been queen consort.
Louis Josef François Xavier died on the exact same day as Estates General assembled for the first time
Yes, poor Dauphin.
@@livesandhistories they practicly left him for dead he died of tubercoloses in Chateou de Mudon Le Grand Dauphin`s favorite castle
This account fails to mention that Marie Therese was queen of France for about 20 minutes. Her husband was made king in an agreement that he would abdicate the position.
WOWWWWWW HOW HAS THIS STORY NEVER BEEN MADE MORE KNOWN? INSTANT HISTORICAL BLOCKBUSTER!
It happened time and time again. Throughout history.. with every monarchy. Being a monarch or family/children in the monarchy came with so many risks. No one was ever really safe. Nothing was ever set in stone. King, Queen, prince, princess...no one was ever safe. The pendulum was so easily swung from fortune to despair. It was a dangerous political game to be a part of... so much treachery and deceit. It's so sad that the innocents were the ones who would suffer so much. 😥
Very well said, Ruby. I agree with you. Thank you very much for watching.
She was a tough bird for sure!
Thanks very much, for all the information provided about Madame Royal
Greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷
🌷♥️
Thank you for watching, Luis.
I'm going to watch more of your videos! Please keep putting them out there! 😎 Did subscribe!
Thank you! Will do! I am glad you like them.
Thank you very much for your story.
2:10 "Their attempt failed." The sillies decided to stop at an inn for a night, just a few miles from the border. I suspect they could not REALLY believe they were in danger. Those few miles led to all the horror they endured later.
Maybe the horses could go no further
They stopped for fresh horses and it was a guard station. They knew they weren't on holiday.
They were reconized at chrckpoint
@@pierren___ They were recognized because they traveled all together in a large entourage and made no attempt to disguise themselves! So foolish!
People feel pretty sad when they hear royal stories like this. Though they forget that the french subjects at the time have lived a ridiculous and even more tragic life than the royals (from an epidemic to another, and in poverty as well as in neglect). It is, sadly, not fair for the kids to go through that harsh destiny, but I believe the French were so mad at how they have been treated for a long time in the cost of continuous creations of EXPENSIVE golden castles and operas and I don't know what (things that only the elite would profit from)
Thank you for the brief history. Nice video
Please , no lavish life , no other deaths justify or even soften the savagery that these French revolutionaries committed against this family . Yes , royals and nobles were monstrous but commoners were just as animalistic . Everything done to gather power , the poor still exist in France , the homeless still suffer and the government stills fails them .
Still no reason to treat her brother like they did.
Absolutely not. The "french " revolution was a bourgeois monstruous fake revolution against the french ethnicities and the majestic nobles that govern them. A genocide even happened against the vendeans. City were erased and the french society is still under the dictatorship of the republic.
Fabulous and interesting video! Thank you for posting!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching.
wow. Fascinating story! And, awfully sad!!! Thanks for the video.
Thank you for watching Maureen.
You read and learn about human history and all of the terrible stories from the past and it should make you realize how good most of us have it nowadays. Reading history and seeing how cruel humans can be is really rather sad and horrifying.
