On This Day October 13

Marie Antoinette met the young Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart on October 13, 1762 in Vienna, when she was seven, (he was two months her junior). Mozart performed a short musical concert for the Imperial Family. When the Empress asked him what he would like as a reward, the young child genius is said to have responded by saying he would like the hand of the Empress's youngest daughter - Marie-Antoinette - in marriage (much to the Empress's amusement.)
