jun 20, 1791 - Royal Flight to Varennes

Description:

King Louis XVI was not sure the direction of the French Revolution and became very worried for his family. He wasn't able to take a strong stance that would make it seem like he was going against the Assembly. So he decided they will seek refuge in Austria, they left dressed as servants and their servants dressed as nobles. However the king was arrested along with his family at Varennes and returned to Paris.
