Pirates of the Pacific & the Spanish Empire

<description>&lt;p&gt;In 1770, 14-year-old Archduchess Maria Antonia of Austria arrived in France to marry Louis XVI.

How then did her adoring public turn on her and condemn her, leading to her execution?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;Professor Suzannah Lipscomb is joined by Professor Caroline Weber to discuss the royal influencer who dressed like a royal mistress, and whose lavish attire cost her her life.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;Presented by Professor Suzannah Lipscomb.
