Absolutely not. Robespierre was instrumental in the king's execution.
Though, come to think of it, they ended up on the same side - the wrong side of the guillotine.
Actually, both sides of the guillotine.

What did King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette have to do with robespierre?
Maximilien Robespierre was an influential member of the Committee of Public Safety and was instrumental in the period of the Revolution commonly known as the Reign of Terror that ended with his arrest and execution in 1794. Robespierre was the person that demanded Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette to die and plead for their deaths in court. He said in the courtroom: "Louis must die, so that the country may live." Eventually, he has gone so far in killing so many people during the revolution, that the French eventually turned against him. Robespierre was guillotined without a trial (!!) in the Place de la Révolution and he was the only man ever to be guillotined face-up, so he could see the blade fall at him. He had screamed when the blade fell and therefore his jaw was stuck to his neck (the blade cut right through his mouth).
What problem did maximilien robespierre address?
He had to beat back the foreign armies that had invaded France in order to reinstate Louis XVI in his former powers, and he had to suppress widespread risings in France itself against the Revolution. He was successful in this, although the means he used deservedly gave his one-year reign the name "The Terror".
