1 juin 1791 - The Fleeing of the Royal Family

Description:

King Louis XVI, attempted to escape to Austria, fearing for his and his family’s lives. Since Marie Antoinette’s brother was the emperor of Austria, he hoped that once they entered Austria’s borders, they would be safe.
However, they were recognised during their journey to Austria and they were arrested before being returned to Paris. There, they remained in their home as prisoners.
The king’s attempt to flee made the people more angry and hostile towards the monarchy system.
