A historical aberration.

There is no definitive evidence that St. Paul was married. Some scholars believe he may have been a widower, but this is not universally accepted.
It had to have been frightening. It could be directed against anyone and everyone, it rarely needed anything except an accusation and there were no rules of evidence and no appeals.

The Reign of Terror was dominated by the Committee of Public Safety (a group of twelve men who ultimately ruled France at the time). The Terror killed 40,000 to 50,000 people with the goal of eliminating anyone who opposed the new French Republic. To maintain liberty, equality and fraternity, The Committee of Public Safety took bloody measures. They used the guillotine, mass drowning and grapeshot. In the long run, the Reign of Terror exhausted the French Revolution, leading to the Directory which aimed to create more peace in France. After the weak rule of the Directory, Napoleon Bonaparte staged a coup d'etat and eventually became emperor. In conclusion, the Reign of Terror helped lead the way for the end of the Revolution while maintaining the Revolutionary spirit which easily could have been destroyed by France's European enemies and the counter-revolutions. Today, the Reign of Terror is remembered as one of the most horrifying by fascinating parts of the French Revolution.
More people who were part of the court were sent to the guillotine and anyone who was considered a problem were also beheaded.
The French Revolution was triggered, in part, by widespread corruption and the financial crisis caused by the monarchy's mismanagement. The revolution sought to address these issues by establishing principles of equality, accountability, and transparency in governance. However, the revolution itself also witnessed instances of corruption and misuse of power, particularly during the Reign of Terror.
Yes, it sought change and it got change. The trouble was that it also brought about some unintended consequences like the Reign of Terror which had not been considered by the people in the street when they stormed the Bastille.
No. Scholars have been around since the dawn of time.
Almost certainly not. Robespierre did not join the Committee of Public Safety until the main lines of the Terror had been laid down. He came to be associated with it because he was the best-known and most popular member of the Committee, but the instpiration behind the Terror was essentially military and inspired not by Robespierre but by Carnot. The other members were happy to let Robespierre take the responsibility for the Terror, but his fall was caused at least partly by the more extreme members wanting to get rid of Robespierre because he was in fact opposed to the extreme aspects of the policy.
The Reign of Terror was important because it taught the French, as well as the rest of the world, that even a movement that started out for all the right reasons, could end in disaster. Robespierre, who had been very important to the revolution, became mad with power, and initiated a blood bath. There was no liberty or equality, if one did not agree with Robespierre, they lost their head. The people grew weary of all the violence, and Robespierre ended up losing own his head, just like the others he had condemned.
