## Bio

Marie-Anne Charlotte de Corday d'Armont was born 27 July 1768 into a family that would fracture along with France itself. A Girondin sympathiser, she watched the moderate revolutionaries lose ground to the Jacobins and held Jean-Paul Marat responsible for the September Massacres of 1792. She travelled to Paris, secured an audience, and on 13 July 1793 stabbed Marat to death while he sat in a medicinal bath. Jacques-Louis David immortalised the scene in paint; the Revolutionary Tribunal immortalised her sentence four days later. On 17 July she was guillotined at the Place de Grève, and in 1847 Alphonse de Lamartine gave her the name that stuck: l'ange de l'assassinat.
