Born in Vienna 1755. Daughter of Emperor Francis I and Empress Marie-Therese. She married in 1770 Louis XVI, who was at the moment only Dauphin. After the advent of her husband (1774), Marie-Antoinette was a big influence on his mind. The Government had her arrested and imprisoned in the Temple, then at the Conciergerie, during his captivity and his appearance before the Revolutionary Court, she showed great courage. She was executed on 16 October 1793.
