 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">We remember Marie because she was a wild young queen that did not understand the tough situations of her people.
 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">This is important because it serves as an example for the future queens and kings to not be focused on spending money for themselves.
 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">This situation is related to today because as people we should learn to be practical with how we use our money.
