King Louis xvi was accused of treason. He tried to flee his country to Austria, trying to regain his power after the "Storming of Bastille" and the "March on Versailles". His people found him and his family trying to escape and they were then then arrested and brought back to France. They made King Louis promise to change the laws. He agreed. But when the meeting was called to fix Frances financial crisis King Louis had vetoed every solution that was brought to him. The people of France then decided that he had no use to the country and he was sentenced to death. The "Guillotine".
