The leader of the Committee of Public Safety during the French Revolution was Maximilien Robespierre. He was a key figure in the radical phase of the Revolution and played a significant role in the execution of King Louis XVI, which took place in January 1793. Robespierre and the Committee of Public Safety were instrumental in the establishment of the Reign of Terror, a period marked by political purges and executions of perceived enemies of the revolution.
