On somebody's website about the French Revolution:

"Louis XVI might have been an o.k. constitutional monarch. He was kind and stupid at the same time. Louis limitations helped bring about the French Revolution. In addition to his "qualities", his unpopular wife, Marie Antoinette, whom the French nicknamed "The Austrian Whore", was unhappy with her marriage to the sexually impotent Louis. Their marriage - like others throughout royal Europe - was meant to further the relationship between France and Austria. We don't really know if she really said, "Let them Eat Cake", but she was insensitive to the people of France. She used to dress up, and made her ladies-in-waiting do the same, dress up in peasant clothing and they would pretend that they were peasants, peasants in Versailles. "
