Historically this moment really occured. The French Revolution had begun and the crowd of Paris chosen to walk toward the castle. Marie Antoinette awoke because of the noise and refuged herself and her children in the king's bedroom. In front of the windows of the king's bedroom the people were infuriated and wanted to see the queen. Then she decided to face the crowd. She inclined herself several time on the balcony and finaly the French decided to hail their queen. (sorry for my english :lol: )

She did so with great courage and he was out there as well, they both bowed and he kissed her hand and said "Vive la reine" which translates to "Long live the Queen" and this happened...I b...
