	Royal family - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A royal family is the extended family of a monarch.
		The term "imperial family" more appropriately describes the extended family of an emperor or empress regnant, while the terms "ducal family" or "princely family" are more appropriate in reference to the relatives of a reigning duke, grand duke, or prince.
		A royal family typically includes the spouse of the reigning monarch, any or all surviving spouses of a deceased monarch, the children, grandchildren, brothers, sisters, and cousins of the reigning monarch, as well as their spouses.

		In fact, Marie-Amélie's position was doubly compromising for the royal image, since her presence in the public eye might serve as a reminder of the private nature of this family's relationship to the throne, but her absence could give the same impression.
		The royal couple aligned themselves astutely by such means with a postrevolutionary bourgeois culture that made public life a masculine concern, while the queen avoided any public controversy that would have dishonored her and, thereby, brought dishonor on her family.
		Certainly the difference between the French and English monarchies did not lie in the amount of private property belonging to the royal family, which was enormous in the English case as well.

	Flight to Varennes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Flight to Varennes (June 20-21, 1791) was a significant episode in the French Revolution during which the French royal family, faced with a decrease in royal authority, attempted unsuccessfully to escape abroad.
		Himself incapable of strenuous effort, the King was spurred on by his queen Marie Antoinette, who keenly felt her own degradation and the curtailment of that royal prerogative which her son would one day expect to inherit.
		The National Guards of Paris treated the royal family well, and protected them on several occasions from tumultuous crowds, but were determined to prevent their escape.

		The royal lineage of France was descended from Hughes, nicknamed Capet, elected king in 987.

		With the French divided into warring parties and negotiations to renew the truce with England a failure, King Henry V invaded France in August of 1415 after reviving his family's faded claim to the French throne.
		The French troops were sent over a pontoon bridge around the hour of Tierce (9 a.m.), and induced the English to abandon St-Jean-le-Blanc without a fight; the more substantial fortress of Les Augustins was then assaulted, with the saint leading the initial charge alongside La Hire.
		Since the Royal Court at that time was divided into factions, each of which routinely tried to eliminate any prominent leader who was supported by their rivals, it would be likely that a small group within the Court may have betrayed her.
