Technically, he was a prisoner of war. In 1792, with the Reign od Terror hotting up, Lafayette realised thast, as a noderate revolutionary, he was currrently on the losing side in French politics. being hugely aristocratic and unbelievably rich didn't help either. He left France in the hope of returning to the United States, but ran into the Austrian army on his way through Belgium. This was not good news, since he had commanded troops in France, and Austria was at war with France - and, of course, he was one of those revolutionaries and the principal author of the Declaration of the Rights of Man, which the Austrian Emperor was not inclined to approve. So he spent five years locked up in Austria.
