The unedited version of my school project: Marie Antoinette was born 2nd of November 1775. She first met Louis XVI during the 'Seven year war'. When france met with Marie Antoinette they wanted to change her teeth which were crooked. They called a french doctor and he began work on her straight away. It took three months to complete. When the french were happy the couple were officially married on the 19th of April. Many people were charmed by her appearance, she was tall, fair skinned, straw blond hair and blue eyes. The parliament did not agree and did not like Louis and Marie as a couple at all.
When Marie's sister in law gave birth to a son she threw herself into more gambling and shopping. She was pressured into producing an heir. She eventually gave birth to a baby girl and then a boy she had an heir. Marie was not the main cause of the Parlement but was blamed for it. The rebellion soon escalated violently and the castle was under siege. The roars and shouts went on at the gates for weeks. The mob then broke through into the castle. Marie was found protecting her children. Louis was executed on the 21st of January. Marie went into mourning she later developed tuberculoses. Despite her condition the parlement were still deciding her fate. Finally she was executed on the 16th of October 1793 in a simple white dress.
