I am Marie II, I was Queen Reagent of France, I was the reigning Queen Reagent of France from 1762 to 1796. I came to power after overthrowing my husband, Henri VI. Under my long reign, inspired by the ideas of the Enlightenment, France experienced a renaissance of culture and sciences, which led to the founding of many new cities, universities, and theatres. I was known for being a lesbian and having mistresses.
