Meh. I mean this line of thinking makes sense but in all reality the royal family in France had very little incentive to not flee the country as on more than one occasion mobs of people had stormed their domiciles in Versailles and Paris before they were inevitably killed.

Personally I don't believe either deserved death but similarly to the pressures put upon the monarchy the National convention faced angry mobs and the Austrian decree expressing their goal of reestablishing the monarchy to the thrown made it nearly impossible for the death penalty to not be passed. I personally wouldn't blame either side for the actions they made as both sides made decisions under duress.
Thats literally the worst kind of treason imaginable. Encouraging another country to attack france is pretty objectively treasonous.
