jul 27, 1794 - Robespierre Arrested and killed
Description:
Robespierre and many of his allies were arrested and taken to prison. He was able to escape with the aid of a sympathetic jailer and hid in the Hôtel de Ville (City Hall) in Paris. When he received word that the National Convention had declared him an outlaw, he tried to commit suicide but succeeded only in wounding his jaw. Shortly after, troops from the National Convention stormed the building and arrested Robespierre and his followers. The next day, he and 21 of his allies were executed at the guillotine.
