Maximillien Robespierre, nicknamed "the Incorruptible", was the leader of the Jacobins who took over the leadership of France during the French Revolution. He and the other committee members ordered the execution of the King, Louis XVI for treason in January 1793. Robespierre, as an enlightened thinker, brought revolutionary ideas of equality, liberty and fraternity to the minds of the French people already put under pressure by poverty, exacerbated by an incapable king and an exorbitant queen. During the revolution, he also made France a secluar state. He attempted to re-name the months of the year and make 1794 the first year of French history. This did not catch on though, and his attempt to institute a new "festival of the saint" was also unsucessful. While it is true that Robespierre allowed the death of thousands of French persons-men, women and children- during the course of the revolution, he also paved the way for the rise of a republic France, as opposed to a monarchy. In addition, his unseating of the monarchy led to the power of Napoleon Bonaparte who aided in developing France's politics under a system of centralisation. Robespierre died in 1794, the final victim of the revolution- taken by the guillotine to which he had sent thousands.
During The Reign of Terror of The French Revolution he was one of the 12 members of the Committee of Public Safety. That committee ran the government. All members were equal. He was more equal. He also decided which people would lose their heads. Finally the assembly lost patience with that committee and cut off his head. Another group took over the government. They proved incompetent and Napoleon took over.
He was a leader in the Committee of Public Safety and took on the role of preserving the purity of the French Revolution.
