I listened to this interview with the author Elena Maria Vidal.
Very poignant, real history...

Elena Maria Vidal sets the record straight on the oft-maligned Catholic Queen of France and martyr of the Revolution.

I've been following Ms. Vidal since I was in Uni - she's fantastic. A true expert on French History.

I snatched up Hillaire Belloc's bio of Marie Antoinette when my alma mater went defunct and everything had to go (along with many other old, out of print Belloc bio's).  My wife has read it, and yes, the mainstream "legend" is rife with lies.
"O Lord, save Thy people and bless Thine inheritance, granting to Thy people victory over all their enemies, and by the power of Thy Cross preserving Thy commonwealth."

"Through the prayers of the Theotokos O Savior save us"

"You must be mad," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here" - Lewis Carroll

But when he's dumb and no more here,
Nineteen hundred years or near,
Clau-Clau-Claudius shall speak clear.
