About me, the Queen de France

Bonjour, tout le monde! I am Marie Antoinette (Maria Antonia en allemand), the queen de France. Following the death of Louis XV in May of 1774, my husband, King Louis XVI, and I rose to the throne and I became the queen. I reigned over France for 19 years until I was executed in 1793 :/

Voici deux belles peintures of me and my husband.

Et en plus, here is a brief video explaining a bit about ma histoire <3

[dawningwinds-s]

Historical figures should try being named something other than Louis. Especially the french ones. It's very rude of them to confuse us by all having the same name like that

[marq-de-laf]

The day after his return Lafayette went to La Muette to report to the king and to pay his respects. Louis XVI greeted him cordially and paid him many compliments. The king spoke of Washington in terms of 'confidence, regard, admiration and affection,' though he would make no promises of future aid to America. The noblemen of the court crowded around Lafayette and expressed their approval. Many of them began to seek permission to go to America and emulate his example.

Lafayette In America by Louis Gottschalk, Chapter XV, pp. 349-350. Amazing how opinions changed! The same kid that almost didn’t go to America because the king told him no, the same young man that was laughed at by nobles at court, had both king and court applauding him. Wild.

The arrest of Louis XVI and his family following their failed escape from Paris, 22 June 1791

by Thomas Falcon Marshall

Attempting to flee the Revolution in Paris, Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette are captured in Varennes and ultimately executed for treason. The escape was compromised by a conspicuous carriage, armed retinue and lack of disguises.

Tennis Court Oath

On 20 June 1789, the members of the French Third Estate took the Tennis Court Oath in the tennis court which had been built in 1686 for the use of the Versailles palace.

During the Estates-General Assembly in 1789, the French people, represented by three estates (clergy, nobility, and commoners), convened to address the country's financial crisis and political issues. However, tensions arose between the representatives of the Third Estate (commoners) and the other two estates, as the Third Estate sought equal representation and voting power, which the clergy and nobility were reluctant to grant.

Frustrated by the lack of progress and the inequality within the Estates-General, the representatives of the Third Estate decided to break away and form their own assembly. They called themselves the National Assembly, declaring that they represented the will of the French people. Their goal was to create a new constitution for France and initiate reforms.

However, when the National Assembly arrived at their meeting place in Versailles on June 20, 1789, they found that the doors to their usual meeting hall had been locked by orders of King Louis XVI. Fearing that the king was trying to dissolve their assembly and suppress their efforts, they relocated to a nearby indoor tennis court known as the "Jeu de Paume" to continue their proceedings.

Inside the tennis court, the representatives of the Third Estate, led by figures like Maximilien Robespierre and Camille Desmoulins, took an oath not to disband until they had successfully created a new constitution for France. This oath is now known as the Tennis Court Oath. The oath solidified the resolve of the National Assembly to stand united against the traditional order and marked a crucial turning point in the French Revolution, inspiring people across the country to support the cause for change.

The Tennis Court Oath was a critical step in the revolutionary process. Eventually, it led to further significant events such as the storming of the Bastille, the abolition of feudal privileges, and the transformation of France into a constitutional monarchy, followed by the eventual abolition altogether.

King George III of Great Britain and King Louis XVI of France

A project I worked on very slowly, but that I'm quite pleased with. A long time customer and history buff headed off to Boot Camp asked if I could work on these for him. I worked on them while he was away and I found time in between other projects (it was refreshing to have three months of work time!). He just finished basic (congratulations, Jakob!), and his pair of Kings are headed to him now.
