And Marie was only said to have said, “Let them eat cake.” Many historians dispute she ever did. The peasants spread rumors that she did. Maybe she said it, maybe not.

Cribs of the elite.
Not that it matters, but the French people were near starvation. They would NOT eat potatoes. The church had ruled it a forbidden food and the French believed it. The King actually tried to get the population to accept the potato as a food and they simply wouldnt.
And the rest is history.

The reign of terror.
