Question: Did Marie-Thérèse-Charlotte of France have any children?
If so, what are the names? Or where would I be able to find information about them? Just curious to see if the one surviving child of Marie Antoinette had children.
Answer: No, she and her husband, Louis-Antoine d'Artois, Dauphin of France and Duke of Angoulême, had no children.

Question: What are men called during the french revolution who wore white make-up and wigs?
Marie Antionette-esk, French Revolution time period. Frilly collars and stockings, beauty marks. Counts and Dukes and Countesses. What are they called?! I thought it was Aristocrats, but I'm terribly wrong!
Answer: The "fashion victims" of that time, the men who wore the fashions you describe, were called "fops" or "Macaronis".
But those who were the victims of the French Revolution were indeed the aristocrats, the titled nobility of France.
Which do you mean?
