Because of his service in both the American Revolutionary War and in the French Revolution.
The American Revolution came first. King Louis XV who was the King in France (the one that was overthrown and sent to the guillotine during the french revolution) actually gave money to help the American cause. The Americans could not have won the war if they had not received financial & political support from France.
The eleventh month in the French Revolution Calendar was called Brumaire.
You don't say which revolution you are talking about. Should you mean the French Revolution of 1789, the answer is no. The revolutionary courts in force until 1793 were 'kangaroo courts' , mostly manned by people without any legal qualifications who were habitually uninterested in the subject of solid proof. Hearsay and wild accusations were usually enough to get you convicted to the Guillotine.
Supposing you mean the French Revolution: the King's failed flight from France to seek refuge with France's enemies caused him and his family to be imprisoned. A little later, the French Revolution radicalized into the period called The Terror. During that period, tens of thousands of people, many of them aristocrats, were killed as 'enemies of the Revolution'; the King and Queen were among them.
