How old was Marie Antoinette when she married Louis-Auguste?

nowadays 14 will get you 20

Still older than my great-grandma who married her husband when she was 13 and he was 17.

Wonder if there was a wedding cake

young marriages were common back when few lived to 40 !

As of early 2021, it's a hard medical fact...that ...the male brain, does not FULLY MATURE until about age 27....FEMALES...age 23... and these were ruling a nation... staggering thought...but these types of marriages are only foreign to our culture (in the US), they've been occurring for thousands of years... Yet digressing a bit...speaking of staggering thoughts...most people are immature in their thinking, communications & processing info/life... their entire lives... All ya gotta do is look at the world!

LolaB, 7yrs to be exact. Supposedly he had a medical procedure to correct a slight malfunction and it was full speed ahead afterward.

Debalina, They weren't the best of monarchs though!

CHANEL, he was very immature for his age. They didn’t reign until he was 21 and she was 18. They didn’t consummate the marriage until much later than that! When young children were married off for state purposes they weren’t expected to sleep together until they were old enough. One exception was Margaret Beaufort who was married to her 1st husband aged 7 and her husband was 12. That marriage was annulled. Her next marriage was at age 12 to Edmond Tudor. He was 25(eww). He should have left her alone until she was older but he consummated the marriage and died the year after. She had Henry 7th at age thirteen in a Welsh castle. I’ve been there and it was very sparse and cold looking. She was married twice more at age 15 and age 25. I don’t suppose any of them were her choice but she was apparently happy with her third husband. She is the grandmother of Henry the 8th and lived until she was 66. A good age in those days. I think the early birth of Henry made it impossible for her to have any more children. She was very influential during her life and fought for her son to ascend the English throne.

Intensegrandprix2930, horrific fate for all her family indeed beheaded .Isis lmbo

We had the pleasure of touring this beautiful palace 2 years ago. It took us almost all day to wonder in and outside the palace. The garden is so beautiful ❤️

the french people__" wee want bread, we have no bread to eat'' marie antoniet _____" if you have no bread, go and eat cake''

Poekneegurl, didn't become King until he was 20 tho.

Poekneegurl, 27? I didn't felt it.

Glory2J, congrats for November - I’m 62 & thoroughly enjoy this quiz game & do several similar to keep (try to anyway 🤣) my brain in good shape.

Poekneegurl, they weren’t ruling at that age as Louis’ grandfather was still king. They acceded the the throne when he was 21 and she was 18.

Her hair is a boat.

CHANEL, But he wasn't an adult. He was only 15 himself

Redeemed 2001, yep and no help from anyone, but it was common practice worldwide then

what 20??? 50 years old

Redeemed 2001, clever 😆😅😆

interesting history someone said 14 will get you 20, well not if your only 15 yourself. That was a different time and culture

same as Elen White

Player #14782264, he should have divorced her, but nooo , the Church would not approve,, i would have escaped from the area, and change my name, lol,poor woman.

Player #12022501, she was beheaded because she spent so much money and through massive feasts and parties while the peasants starved to death.

Player #12022501, No proof of her saying let them eat cake,

Intensegrandprix2002, l

Why did they behead her? Idk if this is fact or fiction but was it because she spent so much money and said about the ppl "Let them eat cake" when confronted about her frivolous spending. Just curious.

Intensegrandprix2002, 😊

Intensegrandprix2002, nothing was said about mistress's. where did u get that idea?
