280 in the Conciergerie is written by Will Bashor and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. Her seventy-six days in this terrifying prison can only be described as the darkest and most horrific of the fallen queen's life, vividly recaptured in this richly researched history. Here, Will Bashor pieces together Antoinette’s experiences while imprisoned in the Conciergerie prior to her trial and execution. Marie Antoinettes Darkest Days: Prisoner No. Marie Antoinette's reign amidst the splendors of the court of Versailles is a familiar story, but her final imprisonment in a fetid, dank dungeon is a little-known coda to a once-charmed life. 280, a time that was a cruel mixture of grandeur, humiliation, and terror. Will Bashor traces the final days of the prisoner registered only as Widow Capet, No. The ex-queen surely knew her days were numbered, but she could never have known that two and a half months would pass before she would finally stand trial and be convicted of the most ungodly charges.
