Mary, let's talk.

This matter should start with the story before Queen Mary was executed, and first talk about why she was executed.

extravagance and waste

Luxury and waste are common problems of princes and nobles, but Mary takes them to the extreme. If it is only the daily expenses of cosmetics and clothes, the royal family can afford it, but it can't satisfy Mary's desire.

When people's lives are hard, Mary holds a dance every day. And she likes palaces very much, so Louis XVI specially built a small Trianon Palace for her. You know, the cost of this palace was more than 700,000 francs, which was absolutely astronomical at that time.

Because of this, many people called her at that time? Mrs. deficit? . Although this title is full of ridicule, I believe that people are absolutely gnashing their teeth when they say this title.

It is worth mentioning that Mary spent not the royal coffers, but the money in the national treasury, which is the source of people's anger. People don't hate Mary's extravagance and waste, but hate her taking the country's money to satisfy her own desires. Mary never realized how much she had gone too far.

abuse of power

Louis XVI liked Mary very much and indulged her, so Mary gradually began to intervene in political affairs. Mary turns a blind eye to capable people, and she values people who enjoy themselves as much as she does.

She controls power, not to make the country better, but to seek personal gain for herself through power. For example, Mrs Polina made a lot of money for her family by bribing Mary. The French Ministry of Finance actually spent more than 500,000 francs for their family!

Stop * * * and

The core reason why Mary was killed was that she tried to stop France from moving towards peace. At first, Mary supported democratic reform, because she thought it could solve the contradiction between nobles and civilians.

However, as she found that her power was getting smaller and smaller, her attitude towards * * * harmony changed from acquiescence to resistance. ? On the surface, Mary supported peace, but in fact she secretly wrote to the supporters of Bourbon dynasty, hoping that they would help suppress the high-spirited people. Louis XVI and Mary had limited power, so this letter was intercepted.

The people have been oppressed for a long time, and they look forward to harmony very much. Queen Mary stopped them, so they took Mary as their enemy.

Many people misunderstood Mary's apology. In fact, Mary didn't apologize to the people, but only to the executioner. The reason for apologizing is that I accidentally stepped on his foot. For the sake of the country and the people, she never said a word or expressed any apologies.

As the queen, Mary can apologize to everyone, which makes people very moved. However, her apology could not make up for the losses she had brought to the country and people, so she was finally executed.

What's more, Queen Mary's apology is not sincere, just to safeguard the so-called royal dignity. Queen Mary was very sad. She was sad because she didn't understand until she died that the so-called royal dignity had no value and significance. If she had abandoned the so-called royal dignity earlier, her ending would never have been so tragic.
