marie antoinette

[petethehoop]

what royal house was marie antoinette from

[Toglet]

Habsburg, I think.

[Quizmonster]

I can confirm Toglet's answer. She was the daughter of Empress Maria Theresa of Austria, a Hapsburg ruler. The latter was - apparently - the first female to inherit the throne directly in a European ruling house, her brother having died earlier.
