Maximilian Robespierre
As the head of state of France, Maximilian Robespierre reigned between 1792-1794, one of the shortest in French history. He helped in forming the Committee for Public Safety and became the chief member, a short while after King Louis XVI and Queen Marie were executed. Though he was one of the most famous figures of the French Revolution he was later accused of trying to promote dictatorship.

Forensic pathologist Philippe Charlier along with his friend Philippe Froesch, a facial reconstruction specialist teamed up in 2013 to create a replica of Robespierre’s figure. They used the ruler’s death mask as a key part of the research, which was created a short while after he was executed.
His True Features
Robespierre was eventually arrested, and there are some disputes as to whether he attempted suicide or was shot in the jaw. Either way, a few days later he was executed along with 21 of his closest supporters.
