Topic: Charlotte Corday


  
  Charlotte Corday - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Charlotte Corday by Paul Jacques Aimé Baudry, painted 1860: Under the Second Empire, Marat was seen as a revolutionary monster and Corday as a heroine of France, represented in the wall-map.
She was initially turned away, but on a second attempt on 13 July Marat admitted her into his presence (he conducted most of his affairs from a bathtub because of a debilitating skin condition).
At trial, Corday testified that she had carried out the assassination alone, saying "I killed one man to save 100,000." It was likely a reference to Maximilien Robespierre's words before the execution of King Louis XVI.
