After the storming of the Bastille and the forced relocation of the royal family to Paris, France became a de facto constitutional monarchy, with the revolutionaries effectively forcing the King to approve their laws.

Eventually, King Luis and Marie Antoinette attempted to escape to Austria, but they were re-captured at the town of Verannes, a short distance from the Austrian border, and taken back to Paris. Eventually, the National Assembly, against Robespierre's objections (though he would later change his mind), decided to try the King for treason and sentence both him and his wife to death by the guillotine.

But what if King Louis and Marie Antoinette did not attempt to escape to Austria? Are they still executed by the revolutionaries even if they didn't try to escape? Would the Reign of Terror still occur? Do the French Revolutionary Wars still occur?
