‘Widow Capet’ (The answer to this week’s historical riddle). Images shown are original and are available for sale on the website. See link in bio. The Tarot Cards are from the Ofgrave Concern Industrial Sublime Tarot. An historically inspired original Tarot Deck. Also shown are Headless Portraits inspired by actual historical portraits, and the juxtaposition of ideals and brutality seen during the period of the reign of terror. 16th October 1793, previous Queen of France prior to the French Revolution, Marie Antoinette, then called ‘Widow Capet’, is executed by guillotine. Convicted of high treason by the Revolutionary Tribunal, she is executed at the Place de la Révolution, following the execution of her husband King of France Louis XVI, which took place on the 21st January 1793. Labelled as ‘Madame Deficit’, for her extravagant lifestyle, and lack of understanding of the economic problems facing France prior to the Revolution; her reputation was further tarnished during the "Diamond Necklace Affair", in which she was falsely accused of defrauding the crown jewels and the jewelers in order to purchase a very expensive necklace. The affair also involved the Italian adventurer, magician, alchemist, occultist and free mason Giuseppe Balsamo, who self styled himself Count Alessandro di Cagliostro. Marie Antionette also is falsy associated with the story in which she misunderstood the cries of the French poor for bread, as being cries of dissatisfaction for eating bread, in which she replied. ‘Let them eat cake’. This account actually derives from Jean-Jacques Rousseau, ‘confessions’, and was published in 1782, and is not based upon Marie Antionette.

During the French Revolution more than 1200 people were guillotined on this square. The most famous were King Louis XVI, Marie Antoinette, and leader of the revolution, Maximilien Robespierre.

This account actually derives from Jean-Jacques Rousseau, ‘confessions’, and was published in 1782, and is not based upon Marie Antionette. Due to these accusations, and other false accounts, such as her affair with Lafayette, whom she actually hated, and incest with her son; she was tried and convicted with her execution already arranged before her trial. Her head was then given to Marie Tussaud for the making of a wax death mask, and her body thrown into an unmarked grave.
