The assassination of French revolutionary Jean-Paul Marat took place on July 13, 1793, during the height of the French Revolution. Charlotte Corday, a young woman from Caen in Normandy, stabbed Marat to death while he was taking a medicinal bath. Corday's act was motivated by her opposition to Marat's radical politics and his role in the violent events of the Revolution, particularly the September Massacres of 1792.
