Marie-Anne Charlotte de Corday d'Armont ( 1768 -1793), known to history as Charlotte Corday was a figure of the French Revolution.
In 1793, she was executed under the guillotine for the assassination of Jacobin leader Jean-Paul Marat, who was in part responsible, through his role as a politician and journalist, for the more radical course the Revolution had taken.
More specifically, he played a substantial role in the political purge of the Girondins, with whom Corday sympathized.
