The Rose of Versailles

Marie Antoinette’s marriage to Louis the XVI is set to occur soon and it falls to Oscar to ensure Marie’s safe passage across the Rhine River. Will Oscar be prepared for the dark conspiracy that seeks to ruin the wedding?

New to the French court, Marie Antoinette is still learning proper etiquette in her dealings with the nobility when she accidentally makes a dangerous enemy.

Marie Antoinette and Madame du Barry’s bitter dispute continues to strain relations between Austria and France. Oscar’s family is soon drawn into the dispute when Madame du Barry requests Oscar’s mother to be her lady-in-waiting.

Pressure to acknowledge Madame du Barry’s presence at court continues to mount for Marie Antoinette, and she reluctantly accedes to the idea. However, Madame du Barry and Duke Orléans have begun to make plans.

Marie and Louis-Auguste’s visit to Paris presents a great danger for them. Meanwhile, two sisters, Jeanne and Rosalie, dream of escaping poverty.

Growing bored with Louis-Auguste’s self-indulgence, Marie decides to attend masquerade ball in Paris.

An accident during horseback riding threatens Marie’s life and causes André to be issued the King’s harshest punishment.

King Louis the XV suddenly becomes very ill, and Madame du Barry's devastation only increases as her fate becomes more and more uncertain.

Louis-Auguste and Marie are crowned King and Queen of France but life continues to be difficult for the common folk. Meanwhile, Rosalie finds Jeanne amongst the nobility.

When Marie begins to neglect her official duties in favour of basking in Count Fersen's affections, Oscar feels compelled to intervene.
