I read that queen Marie Antoinette never saw the sea in her life, despite having time and money to visit any part of her kingdom when she wanted. Was it unusual for 18th century monarchs to travel or did they just preferred the comfort of their palaces and were not interested in tourism ?

During medieval warfare it was common for Catholic soldiers and knights to sack monasteries, churches and commit horrible things to members of religious orders and the clergy. How did these supposedly devout people in a very devout period justified pillaging their own places of worship ?
