Other People Who Died on July 17th
Charlotte Corday
An assassin participated in the French Revolution, targeting Jean-Paul Marat. Corday believed that eliminating Marat would help restore peace to France during a time of intense political turmoil. Corday gained access to Marat under the pretense of delivering important information. Upon meeting him in his bath, she fatally stabbed him on July 13, 1793. Following her capture, she was tried and executed by guillotine just four days later. This act has been interpreted as a statement against the violent revolutionary fervor and has made Corday a historical figure in discussions about the revolution's moral complexities.
