Best Answer

Maximilien Francois Marie Isidore de Robespierre was executed on the 28th July, 1794 in the Place de la Revolution, Paris along with Louis Saint-Just and Georges Couston as well as nineteen others. The crowd cried "Down with the tyrant!" as he was about to be executed. It is belived Robespierre is the only person to have been executed by the guillotine face up so he could see the blade approaching.

Robespierre was killed on the guillotine. The night before his execution, he attempted to commit suicide - but only managed to shoot himself in the lower part of his jaw. He was (like many of his victims) killed on the guillotine, which raises the pun that Robespierre "lost his head."

He never served as an executioner, but he voted in favor of the death penalty for hundreds.

He was not a hero at all. He went too far with his revolutionary ideas. He killed thousands of people, sending them to the guillotine, just because they still believed in the monarchial system Maximilien Robespierre wanted to get rid of so desperately. He killed everybody that thought differently than him. He was the creator of the reign of terror and was eventually sent to the guillotine himself in 1794 after the French turned against him when their eyes opened and say what he had done. He didn't even have a trial, and was beheaded faced upwards.
