Antoine Lavoisier was guillotined during the French Revolution's Reign of Terror on May 8, 1794. Under the monarchy, Lavoisier had a share in the General Farm, an enterprise that collected taxes for the government. He was executed with his father-in-law and 26 other General Farm members.
Two reasons. One, he was a 'tax-farmer'; actually, his share of the tax revenue was his wife's dowry. He was personally quite liberal and no oppressor of the poor. Two, he protected other scientists from the rigours of the revolutionary committees, and some of these scientists were foreigners, even enemy aliens; harmless, but proscribed. So Lavoisier was denounced as an enemy of the revolution, and a tax-gatherer to boot, and the judge remarked that the country needed loyal citizens, not scientists.
He may have had Jean-Paul Marat (with whom he had disagreed on science) partly to blame for his death.
