Any royalists out there should be pleased: history is correcting the smears against Marie-Antoinette, executed by the anti-Catholic Jacobin regime, and slandered by enemies before and since. In her last letter before her execution in 1793, she expresses a Christian forgiveness:
I pardon my enemies the wrongs they have done me ... I also had friends ... Let them know that, to my last moment, I was thinking of them.
