Maximilien Robespierre (1758-1794) was a lawyer and, from 1789, an increasingly important and controversial political figure during the French Revolution. He was born in the Artois capital Arras on 6 May 1758, to a lawyer father and a mother who was the daughter of a brewer. Maximilien was conceived before their marriage. His mother died in childbirth in 1764 and his father left the four children in the care of relatives, who ensured that Maximilien received a strong education, especially in the classics, then in law. He won a scholarship to the College of Louis-le-Grand in Paris 1769-81, then returned to practice law in Arras. He was successful as a lawyer, although often living in modest circumstances.
