For more than 200 years, Marie Antoinette has been pilloried as a pitiless, hedonistic snob, who once declared, 'Let them eat cake' when told that the starving French people had no bread.
But this remark and much of our popular image of her is myth, says Antonia Fraser, whose biography of the ill-fated queen paints her as a victim of her mother's matrimonial alliances and scapegoat for the monarchy's failures.
