Last week, we held a poll on Twitter to do a special discussing a historical topic outside of the Roman Empire. This poll resulted in the victory of Robespierre and the Terror by a 40 percent vote. Come join us as we discuss the fall of the French Monarchy, and the statesman who put it all in motion, Maximilien Robespierre. Easily one of the most accomplished and intelligent statesmen of his time, Robespierre’s story is a layered one of a man corrupted by his own ideals and virtue. Come listen as we discuss his climb of the French political ladder and his time at the head of the Committee of Public Safety which was responsible for the Reign of Terror from 1792 to 1794.
