Here's a picture of Queen Marie Antionette and her kids. They are the last royal family to live in the palace. Her husband, King Louis XVI was said to be a good person, with the right manners and morals. However, he was found to be a weak leader. Slow to speak and indecisive.

Grand life in Versailles contrasted the ones lived by commoners. That at some point it created faction and insurgency, due to the inequality.

Thus, the outbrak of the Fresnch Revolution. Revolutionists instigated the downfall of the monarchs. They invaded the castle an beheaded the royal family. Marie Antionette, her kids, and King Loius XVI died because of this.

King Louis XIV established the castle, King Louis XV enjoyed it, and King Louis XVI paid the price.
