Someone tried to sell me on the "poor misunderstood Robespierre" bit.

I just said that when the Marque de Sade does your eulogy chances of your being a good person are pretty much zero.

Most of the people tried and executed were the nobility who had raped and pillaged France for ever.

Nope.

Most were middle or lower class who did not mouth support for the absolute lunacy that was happening. Or more accurately they were accused of not supporting the "revolution".

Mostly they just had something that someone else wanted. Like a goat. A wife. A pretty son.
