Louis XVI was executed, officially, because of treason; he had been accused of betraying the French nation to the Austrians. Now, in fairness, Louis XVI had pretty clearly tried to flee Paris in order to organize a counter-revolution. This soured opinions on the King, and, in 1792, when the armies of the Coalition looked on the verge of taking Paris, their commander said “You’d better not hurt Louis!” he was accused of being part of an enemy plot, deposed, and executed months later. So, clear cut, right? Louis had been trying to organize an uprising, that’s treason, he should be executed.

Hey here's your answer
Emperor of France louis ×vl The National Convention had convicted the king (17 January 1792) in a near-unanimous vote (while no one voted "not guilty", several deputies abstained) and condemned him to death by a simple majority.
