The Queen of France at the time of the French Revolution was Marie Antoinette. The King was Louis XVI. After the execution of Louis XVI on January 21, 1793, Marie Antoinette Plunged deep in mourning where she would not eat. In time, she was suffering tuberculosis and possibly uterine cancer. However, her trial still went on. She was found guilty of treason and was executed by the guillotine on October 16, 1793. There was a quote heard from her ""Pardon me Sir, I meant not to do it", to Sanson the executioner in response to her stepping on his foot. She was just short of her 38th birthday. She and the King had two children. Her son, Louis Charles, died in prison in 1795 and her daughter, Marie Thérèse, returned to Austria in a prisoner exchange, married and died childless in 1851. As a side note, a famous American, Thomas Paine advocated exile for Marie into the United States.
When the Royal Family was arrested, its members were stripped of their titles and ordered to revert to an ordinary surname. Bourbon might have been more appropriate, but the name chosen for them was taken from the founder of the dynasty of French Kings, Hugues Capet. so Louis XVI was referred to at his trial as 'Louis Capet', and after his execution Marie-Antoinette became 'La Veuve Capet' - widow Capet.
This was a vicious excuse during Marie Antoinette's trial to have the jury (who were already scared to death their heads might role next) vote to have her executed (since evidence of treason for which she was tried was lacking!). This never actually happened.The child in question, Louis Charles, was taken away from Marie Antoinette after Louis XVI was executed and he was put under the custody of a certain monsieur Antoine Simon who abused him and made him drink alcohol. He forced the child to sign a document stating his own mother had sexually abused him.Even the jury was appalled by this during Marie Antoinette's trial because they knew exactly how this "evidence" had been gained. Therefore it was thrust aside and never used as official evidence in the case.

Socrates chose to stay in prison and accept the death penalty rather than flee because he believed it was important to follow the laws of the state, even if he disagreed with them. He saw his commitment to reason and integrity as more valuable than his own life.
