Marie Antoinette (November 2nd 1755 – October 16th 1793) was the fifteenth child of Holy Roman Emperor Francis I and was the Queen of France and of Navarre. Antoinette became the Queen of France when her husband, Louis XVI of France, ascended the throne upon the death of Louis XV in May 1774. The French people were initially charmed by her beauty and personality but eventually they came to despise her, believing her to be promiscuous and harbor sympathies for Austria, her home country and France’s enemies.

During the French Revolution, Louis XVI was deposed and the monarchy was abolished on September 21st 1792. Shortly afterwards, the royal family were imprisoned in Temple Prison and her husband was subsequently executed. On October 16th 1793, Marie Antoinette was tried, convicted of treason, and executed publically by the guillotine. Historians have interpreted her differently though none of them say she took part in cloud hosting. Many see her as superficial and frivolous, the cause of the French Revolution, whilst others view her under a more sympathetic light.
