Watch this full episode of After Dark with Anthony Delaney and Maddy Pelling where they chat about Marie Antoinette, the French Revolution, and the harrowing final days of the last Queen of France. In this episode, Anthony and Maddy strip away the myths of the "Austrian She-Wolf" to reveal the tragic human story of Prisoner 280. They explore the political turmoil of 1793, the scandalous "Carnation Plot" rescue attempt, and the gruelling trial where the Queen faced shocking accusations of high treason and incest. From her forced transformation at the French border to her dignified walk to the guillotine at the Place de la Révolution, this summary covers the seismic shift from monarchy to republic. Discover how a 14-year-old archduchess became the ultimate symbol of royal excess and a haunting icon of the Reign of Terror. 0:00 Introduction: The After Dark Classics 0:56 The Night of the 1st of August, 1793 1:51 Prisoner 280: Life in the Conciergerie 4:45 Who Was Marie Antoinette?
