Jacques Danton, Camille Desmoulins, Maximilien de Robespierre, and Louis de Saint-Just all had critical leadership roles in bringing about and carrying out the French Revolution. Danton observed, "La révolution dévore ses enfants" [The revolution eats up its children]. And all four indeed had lost their heads by the time the revolution ended.

How was Maximilien Robespierre involved with the revolution?
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.
