 * __Marie Antoinette__ **

** When Marie Antoinette first came to France, the French people were charmed by her beauty and innocence but came to dislike her more and more through the eighteen years she ruled them. ** **‘’Let them eat cake’’ is the translation of the phrase "Qu'ils mangent de la brioche", said by Marie herself upon hearing that the peasants had no bread. Brioche was made from dough with butter and eggs, making it harder and more expensive to get, the quote supposedly implies that she was spoilt and oblivious to what it actually meant. She was killed (beheaded) at the Palace de Revolution Paris, France on October the 16 1793. **

**Her name has gone down in history as one of the most famous queens of all time. ** **Hazel Campbell-Best **
