Summary: This is basically just like the other websites that I have found. This website also includes that Marie did not ignore the growing financal crisis in France. She reduced the royal household staff, eliminating many unnecessary positions that were based solely on privilege. King Louis was executed for treason. She was cruely treated during her final days of captivity. Her children were taken from her, and her best friend, the Princess de Lambelle, was killed and her severed head was put on a pole and paraded in front of the Queen. Antoinette followed her husband to the guillotine on October 16, 1793. She was executed without proof of the crimes for which she was accused.
