King Louis XVI accepted much of the revolutionaries' agenda due to the mounting pressure from the Estates-General and the growing unrest among the populace. Faced with financial crises and widespread discontent, he believed that concessions could help stabilize the situation and avoid further escalation. Additionally, he recognized that the monarchy's absolute power was increasingly challenged, and adapting to the changing political landscape seemed necessary for his survival. However, his attempts at compromise ultimately failed to quell the revolution.
King Louis XVI of France was imprisoned primarily by revolutionaries during the French Revolution. After the monarchy was abolished in 1792, he was arrested and placed in the Temple prison in Paris. His imprisonment was part of the broader revolutionary movement against the monarchy, which ultimately led to his trial and execution in 1793.
King Louis XVI was nicknamed Louis Capet as a reference to his ancestral lineage, specifically the Capetian dynasty from which he descended. The name "Capet" comes from Hugh Capet, the founder of the dynasty in the late 10th century. This nickname was often used by revolutionaries during the French Revolution to emphasize his connection to the monarchy and to symbolize their rejection of royal authority. It also served to dehumanize him, reducing him to a historical figure rather than acknowledging him as a reigning king.

Yes he was. The revolutionaries wanted a republic, but of course that was not possible as long as they had monarchs, and therefore were a monarchy. To truly be a republic, the revolutionaries needed to get rid of their monarchs. Since King Louis XVI was a monarch, he was therefore against this revolution.
