Rumors have always been useful for those who wanted to cause hostility and trouble; this was never more true than during the rein of Marie Antoinette, Queen of France. Betrothed to Louis-Auguste, Dauphin of France at the age of 14, Marie Antoinette, Archduchess of Austria, was thrown into a different royal court, that of France. Different from lax Austrian royal court, the French nobility were cliquey, highly judgmental, and filled with age-old traditions. From her arrival to France in 1770, Marie Antoinette was a young and misunderstood Queen, who was a prisoner of royal protocol.
