Maximilien Robespierre, a leading figure of the French Revolution, believed that Louis Charles, the young son of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, posed a threat to the revolutionary government. Robespierre and other revolutionaries feared that the royalists could rally around the young prince to restore the monarchy. Eliminating Louis Charles was seen as a way to prevent the possibility of a counter-revolution and to solidify the gains of the revolution by removing any symbol of the old regime.
