Best Answer

Louis xvi ran away, because there was the revolution in the third estate, who are the peasantry. They had to pay all the taxes and rents for the other two estates and the king. Thus, they had grudge against the king. However at the end, the king couldn't contro the riots, so he ran away. But, he caught in Varennes.
