Produced by David Widger
"Memoirs of the Court of Marie Antoinette, Queen of France, Volume 7" by Mme. Campan is a historical account written during the early 19th century. This volume recounts the final days of Marie Antoinette and her family during the French Revolution, capturing their imprisonment, the political machinations surrounding their downfall, and the tragic events leading to their executions. Mme. Campan, having served as a close confidante to the Queen, provides first-hand insights into the lives of the royal family amidst chaos and upheaval. The opening of the memoir details critical incidents in the lives of Marie Antoinette and her court during a tumultuous period. It begins with the Queen being robbed and her plea for funds that ultimately leads to severe consequences for her confidantes. The narrative swiftly builds tension as it portrays the deteriorating situation of the royal family, highlighting the growing hostility from revolutionary forces. Through the eyes of Madame Campan, who desperately seeks to remain close to the Queen, the story unfolds to reveal their increasingly dire circumstances, the loss of communication with the King, and the horrendous trials they faced, setting the stage for the tragic fate of the royal family as threats mount and loyalties crumble.
