Detailed explanation-1: -Marie Antoinette was born in Vienna on 2 November 1755, the daughter of Holy Roman Emperor Francis I and Habsburg Empress Maria Theresa.
Detailed explanation-2: -In spite of this specific take on the material, the series is very much based on real events, including Antoinette being forced to leave Vienna and to marry the French Dauphin.
Detailed explanation-3: -When we think about Marie Antoinette we usually imagine her in the gardens of Versailles or lounging around the chateau. But the French queen also had a royal life in Paris. In addition to Versailles, the royal couple lived for a time at the palace in the Tuileries Gardens in Paris, just steps away from the Louvre.
Detailed explanation-4: -She was only 14 when her parents had her married to the dauphin Louis, grandson of Louis XV of France, for diplomatic purposes. In 1774, when her husband ascended the throne as Louis XVI, she became queen.
