    One day after being convicted of conspiracy with foreign powers and sentenced to death by the French National Convention, King Louis XVI is executed by guillotine in the Place de la Revolution in Paris. During their trip, Marie and Louis were apprehended at Varennes, France, and carried back to Paris.

    Likewise, why was Marie Antoinette put to death? On January 21, 1793, he was dragged to the guillotine and executed. By October, a month into the infamous and bloody Reign of Terror that claimed tens of thousands of French lives, Marie Antoinette was put on trial for treason and theft, as well as a false and disturbing charge of sexual abuse against her own son.
