Il duca d’Orleans, dal 1792 detto Egalite, che pure aveva votato per l’esecuzione di Louis XVI, diventa allora sospetta agli occhi dei Montagnardi. Tutti i membri della famiglia Borbone sono arrestati il 7 aprile 1793. Il provvedimento riguarda il duca d'Orléans, i suoi altri due figli, il duca di Montpensier e Louis-Charles d'Orléans, conte di Beaujolais, e sua sorella Louise -Bathilda. La Convenzione decide di allontanare l'intera famiglia da Parigi e ne opera l'immediato trasferimento al Forte Saint-Jean di Marsiglia.

On April 4, the duke of Chartres (future Louis-Philippe I), eldest son of the duke Louis-Philippe d'Orléans, then lieutenant general of the Army of the North, went over to the Austrian enemy together with his leader, general Dumouriez, author of a failed coup. The Duke of Orleans, called Egalite since 1792, who had also voted for the execution of Louis XVI, then became suspect in the eyes of the Montagnards. All members of the Bourbon family are arrested on April 7, 1793. The measure concerns the Duke of Orléans, his other two children, the Duke of Montpensier and Louis-Charles d'Orléans, Count of Beaujolais, and his sister Louise -Bathilda. The Convention decides to remove the entire family from Paris and immediately transfers them to the Fort Saint-Jean in Marseille. Egalite will be guillotined on November 6, 1793.
