Marat was doctor in Paris, the same year as the revolution started. Later he established the newspaper "L'Ami de peuple" which means
the friend of the people. Marat had to escape several times to other countries, because of the things he wrote in the paper.
July the 13th was the last day Marat lived. A young woman, Charlotte Corday, said to his guards, that she had an article for the
newspaper. While Marat was in a bath, she took her breadknife, and killed him. Four days later Charlotte Corday was executed by the
guillotine. She said that she killed him, because of the way that all of his writings in the newspaper, was a big reason to all the
Septemberkillings.
