King Louis XVI and his family fled to Austria in June 1791 primarily due to the escalating political unrest and threats to their safety during the French Revolution. The monarchy was losing power, and the royal family faced increasing hostility from revolutionary factions. They sought refuge in Austria, where Louis XVI's brother-in-law, Emperor Leopold II, ruled, hoping to garner support to restore the monarchy. However, their escape was poorly executed, leading to their capture and eventual return to Paris.
