In what conditions was Marie Antoinette - once the most glamorous woman in Europe - imprisoned for over a year, before and after the execution of King Louis XVI? Why were the French Revolutionaries divided on her own fate? And, how did she finally face the guillotine on October 16th, 1793?
Join Tom and Dominic as they discuss one of the most shocking moments of the French Revolution, and the death knell to the monarchy: The execution of the former Queen of France, Marie Antoinette.
