Storyboard Text
- As the cost of food increased, women demanded bread and criticized the King and his "deficit" wife, Queen Marie Antoinette, for their conduct on October 5, 1789, at the Tuileries Palace, calling them frivolous and excessive. The queen, according to the women, contributed to the enormous debt that France was attempting to pay off. They desired the return of their rulers to Paris so that they may pay them any visit they wished. The royal family was consequently compelled to travel back to Paris, give their nation's ladies bread, and spend the following three years as revolutionaries' prisoners.
