The Last Letter of Marie Antoinette

[livviebway.livejournal.com]

One of bizarre stories I've heard floating around about the French Revolution is that Marie Antoinette's last letter to Mme Elisabeth was found under Robespierre's bed after his execution. Funny how no biography I've read of his has ever mentioned this, you'd think it would be important. Anyway, does anyone know where this story came from?

It seems so my revolutionary knowledge isn't so correct. I haven't heard this story either. I found his visiting as strange, now I have already known the truth. Thanks for the information!

Sure. Of course, a lot of that is guesswork, but it's not just my personal theory--I've seen several historians come to the same conclusion.

Honestly, I don't know historians theories about revolution (except about Maximilien)Later I will know them, I hope....
