"Marie-Antoinette and her royal husband went to the guillotine forgiving their murderers and praising the name of Christ. They were martyred at the hands of the bloody Republic, and deserve better than the shabby treatment their memories have received over the years."

Interesting, any links...?

Certainly. Try this short bio of the Queen from the Catholic Encyclopedia and this book review from Tradition in Action for references to the piety of the Royal Family. A detailed account of the final words and executions of TM Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette may be found in Dr. Warren Carroll’s excelent short history of the Revolution The Guillotine and the Cross (Christendom Press; October 1991; ISBN: 093188845X).
