On this day in 1793, French revolutionary Jean-Paul Marat, who had gone
from being a physician for aristocrats to calling for the end of the
monarchy, was assassinated. Marat was stabbed to death in his bathtub by
Charlotte Corday, a 24-year-old member of a rival political faction called
the Girondins. Corday was guillotined for the crime and Marat became a
martyr for the radical revolutionary cause.
