Overview: Memoirs of the Court of Marie Antoinette is an inside look into the life of Marie Antoinette, Queen of France, written by her First Lady in Waiting Madame Campan. Born in 1755 and married to Louis XVI of France at the age of 14, Antoinette was renowned for her fabled excesses. She was condemned for treason in 1793 at the zenith of the French Revolution, forfeiting her life to the razor-edge of a guillotine.

In the service of Marie Antoinette before and during the French Revolution, she was afterwards headmistress of the first “Maison d’éducation de la Légion d’honneur”, as appointed by Napoleon in 1807 to promote the education of girls.
