About this listen
Marie Antoinette’s role was clear: produce an heir, secure the dynasty, and stabilize the Bourbon monarchy.
She did her duty...But France was unraveling.
In Part II, we trace the years between the birth of her children and the Women's March to Versailles. As the financial crisis deepens and The French Revolution takes shape, the queen becomes the perfect representative for a nation past the point of frustration.
