註釋

Covering the Queen's reign before and during the French Revolution, this two-volume memoir was written by Marie Antoinette's lady-in-waiting, Jeanne-Louise-Henriette Campan. The biography also notes some events from the Queen's childhood that Campan recounts from stories the Queen once related to her. Before attending to Marie Antoinette, Campan served as a reader to Louis XV's daughters in 1768. After serving as a lady-in-waiting since 1770, Marie Antoinette appointed her the First Lady of the Bed chamber in 1786. Campan continued to stay by the Queen's side even during the storming of the Tuileries in 1792. Just after the attack, the two were forcibly separated. Campan took asylum in the countryside and learned of the Queen's fate just as she was making her way back to the palace.
