http://www.pbs.org/marieantoinette/faces/antoinette.html

This is a breif article on the teen queen. It said how she had no offical role or legimate power because she was so young. Her main job was to have a male heir to take over her husband's throne. But lot of things went wrong because she wanted to be independent. Press started to go crazy with her and her and is basically a breif biography. She had her first child Marie Therese Charlotte and a boy dauphin who unfortunetly died. And more kids later on. After her husband's death, her other two children were taken away from her. Later she was convicted of treason and sexual abuse of her son in October 1793. On October 17, she was executed when was only 37 yrs old
