The French Monarchy was overthrown on August 10th 1792 because he earlier had attempted to flee his country joining emigres (Aristocrats and people who have fled France for other countries because they did not like the changes the revolution held). By Fleeing the country the king had showed he did not agree with the new National Assembly Government and therefore would not support the new democratic changes. When the king was caught in Varennes fleeing with Marie Antoinette and family they were imprisoned in Paris. In conclusion the king was overthrown because of his crimes again the country. He was tried in court for them and found guilty. He was guillotined January 21st 1793. His wife Marie was guillotined in October.
