There were numerous reasons why they didnt like here besides the fact that the regime was sittin on all the money. Im surprised they didnt charge her for sleeping with the Duchess of Polignac or the Princess de Lamballe as well since there were many drawings circulating around prior.<br /><br />Though most of us on here sympathize with her, we all know how difficult it is to convince non history buffs to feel the same way we do.

She may have held herself in a higher esteem than others (she was descended from Caesar) but these rabble were definitely not her peers and couldn't put together a credible list of charges if their lives depended on it!
