He was executed because he had become a tyrant. As leader of the Committee of Public Safety during the Reign of Terror, Robespierre amassed near-dictatorial power, ordered mass arrests and executions, and his opponents in the National Convention moved against him—arresting and having him executed (he was declared an outlaw rather than formally convicted in a regular trial).
