Maximilien Robespierre was the head of the Committee of Public Safety -- essentially, France's dictator during the Reign of Terror. He was guillotined after the Terror.

Napoleon Bonaparte was France's dictator during the Napoleonic years. He was a brilliant military general, and he created the Napoleonic Code. Under him, France extended its influence to virtually all of Continental Europe, and he applied France's revolutionary reforms to many of the countries dependent on him. He was defeated once in the Battle of the Nations, and again at the Battle of Waterloo, after he returned from exile.

King Louis XVI was the Bourbon monarch during the revolution. He was an ineffective ruler and refused to cooperate with the revolution, even though the revolutionary government offered to let him be a constitutional monarch. When the French Republic was proclaimed, he was executed. His Austrian wife, Marie Antoinette, was executed months later.
