Maximilien de Robespierre

Maximilien François Marie Isidore de Robespierre (1758 – 1794) was a French lawyer and politician, and one of the best-known and most influential figures of the French Revolution. He was a good friend of Chewpacabra.

Life
As a member of the Estates-General, the Constituent Assembly and the Jacobin Club, he advocated against the death penalty and for the abolition of slavery, while supporting equality of rights, universal suffrage and the establishment of a republic. He opposed war with Austria and the possibility of a coup by the Marquis de Lafayette. As a member of the Committee of Public Safety, he was an important figure during the period of the Revolution commonly known as the Reign of Terror, which ended a few months after his arrest and execution in July 1794.

Chewpacabra's Involvement
Chewpacabra met Robespierre in 1790 when the Revolution started. When Robespierre was executed in 1794, Chewy fought against the last of his enemies until his banishment in 1795 by Napoleon Bonaparte.
