Jean-Paul Marat was one of the most radical leaders of the French Revolution, and as such was instrumental in the events leading up to the period of mass executions known as the Reign of Terror.
By the time the French Revolution erupted in 1789, Marat initially supported the king. However, he soon experienced a change of heart; Marat soon began advocating radical ideas like universal male suffrage, the end of feudal privileges in the old aristocracy, and the balancing of wealth regarding the upper class.
When Louis XIV was caught attempting to flee to the north in 1791, Marat was eager for the king's execution and the appointment of a revolutionary dictator in his place.
