Ep 50: Let them have Portillo's: The saga of Marie Antoinette
Description
Back to basics with the doomed relationship of Marie Antoinette and King Louis the XVI of France! Our dear Marie was just a child when she was shipped to France to marry the future king. It takes a long time for her to have a baby, so she has an excellent time in the meantime. There are many diamonds, chateaus, literal big-wigs, gambling, operas, and even a pretend French village. All on the grounds of Versailles.
Until, of course, she is executed for crimes against the nation.
Learn more about this fascinating window into pre-revolutionary lavish life!
