Throughout the French Revolution, thousands of people were executed on the guillotine. The execution device was being used many times each day inside of French towns, and anyone suspected of being an enemy of the revolution was condemned. Georges Danton was a leading figure in the French Revolution but he encountered the wrath of Robespierre during The Reign Of Terror and because of this he also made his way for a date with the executioner.

Danton had been seen by many as a heroic figure but his rivalry with Robespierre led to him losing his life. Danton was a senior figure in The National Convention but his moderate ideas were disliked by many and for this Robespierre saw him as an enemy of the French people. But like so many and even Robespierre he lost his head on the brutal execution device that also claimed the lives of the French King and Queen.
