Marie Antoinette (Marie Antoinette Josèphe Jeanne; 2 November 1755 – 16 October 1793) was Queen Consort of France as the wife of Louis XVI from 10 May 1774 until the abolition of the French monarchy in 1792 during the French Revolution. Born in November 1755 at the Hofburg in Vienna, Marie was the fifteenth child and youngest daughter of Emperor Francis I and Empress Maria Theresa. By right of her birth, she was an Austrian archduchess of the House of Habsburg-Lorraine. In 1769, Marie was betrothed to Louis-Auguste, Dauphin of France, in order to strengthen the Franco–Austrian alliance. The two were married in 1770, thus making Marie dauphine of France at the age of fourteen.
