King Louis XVI and his wife Queen Marie Antoinette lost their monarchical power during the French Revolution. The French didn't want to be ruled by monarchs anymore, but wanted to become a republic without tyrannizing monarchs that they thought spend all their tax money and wanted equality, so no more nobility with all their benefits. The revolutionists captured King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, held them prisoners and eventually had them beheaded by a guillotine.
