  1. the sad story say that marry tried to bribe the prisoners with lots and lots of money so they'd let her children run away but the prisoners took the money and executed her children so all her hair turned white in just one night .. " so they were executed before her " .  


  2. She had 4 kids Marie-Thérèse-Charlotte, Louis-Joseph, Louis XVII, and

    Sophie Hélène Béatrix.

    Marie-Thérèse-Charlotte, Madame Royale (19 December 1778-19 October 1851) She is the eldest child of Marie Antoinette and the King of France. After her parents death she was allowed to leave France. In 1799 she married Louis-Antoine,  Duke of Angoulême. They had no children, however she did suffer a miscarriage some point in the marriage. She was Queen of France for 20 minutes. She lived to be 73 years old.

    Louis-Joseph Xavier Francois, Dauphin of France (October 22, 1781–June 4, 1789) He was the second child of French couple. He did not live along live and died of "consumption" aka tuberculosis. He was never arrested, like the rest of his family. After his death the title of Dauphin went to his younger brother. He was 8 years old at the time of his death.

    Louis XVII of France, also Louis VI of Navarre (March 27, 1785 – June 8, 1795). He is the second son and third child of Louis XVI and Queen Marie. At his fathers death on 29th of Janurary 1793, he became the King, but never reigned as sovereign. He was arrested along with his family. While imprisioned he died, he was only King for around 2 years. He only lived to reach 10 years of age.

    Sophie Hélène Béatrix of France (July 9, 1786 - June 19, 1787) was the youngest daughter of King Louis XVI of France and Queen Marie Antoinette. She was never arrested with her family because of her death as an infant, which was a cause for much sorrow on the part of both of her parents. When Marie Antoinette's foster brother attempted to console her with the fact that given Sophie's tender age, Marie Antoinette must not have grown overly attached to her, the bereaved mother said only, "Don't forget that she would have been my friend.". Sophie was only 11 months old when she died.


  3. Marie Antoinette and Louise XVI had four children, one of whom survived to adulthood.

    Marie-Thérèse-Charlotte of France (19 December 1778 – 19 October 1851) was the eldest child.  She was titled Madame Royale.  She survived the Revolution, married to become the duchesse d'Angouleme and lived to see the reigns of her uncles Louis XVIII and Charles X. She had no children.

    Louis-Joseph Xavier Francois, Dauphin of France (October 22, 1781–June 4, 1789) was the second child and first son.  He died at the age of eight years old.

    Louis XVII of France, also Louis VI of Navarre (March 27, 1785 – June 8, 1795), from birth to 1789 known as Louis-Charles, Duke of Normandy; then from 1789 to 1791 as Louis-Charles, Dauphin of Viennois; and from 1791 to 1793 as Louis-Charles, Prince Royal of France.  He was the poor little boy who was mistreated in prison, and died there.

    Sophie Hélène Béatrix of France (July 9, 1786 - June 19, 1787) was the youngest daughter.  She died as a baby.

    Here's a nice site about her children, with pictures:

    Marie Antoinette's sons died before they could have children, and only the one daughter lived - but she had no children, so there is no direct bloodline.  

  4. Her son died at the age of 10 after years of abuse and neglect in a prison. Their daughter was the only survivor. She died a spinster and was said to have never gotten over what happened to her parents and her brother. It is difficult to imagine the heartbreak.
