Who fell victim to the Reign of Terror?

Answer 1

Almost anyone who was not a part of the Committee of Public Safety. During the Reign of Terror, citizens were accused of not being active enough during the revolution. Anyone who did not seem to support the revolution was subject to the Terror.

Answer 2

It was an equal opportunity process but all were named as "Enemies of the Revolution", both foreign and domestic, nobles, commoners and clerics. Robespierre declared that "The revolutionary government owes to the good citizen all the protection of the nation: it owes nothing to the Enemies of the People but death..." The problem was that anyone could denounce their personal enemies as counter revolutionaries which often lead to their investigation, arrest, conviction and death. The Committee on Public Safety did not rely on Rules of Evidence. Perhaps as many as 40,000 paid for the crime of being named an enemy of the Revolution.

Answer 3

18500 to 40000 people died including King Louis XVI and his wife Marie A.
