Louis XVI notably failed to escape in October 1789 and in June 1791.
In March 1815, Louis XVIII ordered arrest of Napoleon I. Fruitlessly. Army units and officers who had been ordered to do so, and actually personally promised to do so, defected to Napoleon instead.
How come Louis XVIII was able to leave France? Why did the Frenchmen around him not take the initiative to apprehend him, as they had at Varennes?
