JACQUERIE, THE

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 122 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: INV-JED
JACQUERIE, THE , an insurrection of the
French
  peasantry which broke out in the Ile de France and about Beauvais at the end of May 1358. The hardships endured by the peasants in the Hundred Years' War and their hatred for the nobles who oppressed them were the
principal
  causes which led to the rising, though the immediate occasion was an
affray
  which took place on the 28th of May at the
village
  of Saint-Leu between " brigands " (militia
infantry
  armoured in brigandines) and country-folk. The latter having got the upper hand united with the inhabitants of the neighbouring villages and placed Guillaume Karle at their head. They destroyed numerous chateaux in the valleys of the Oise, the Breche and the Therain, where they subjected the whole countryside to fire and
sword
 , committing the most terrible atrocities. Charles the Bad, king of Navarre, crushed the rebellion at the
battle
  of Mello on the loth of June, and the nobles then took violent
reprisals
  upon the peasants, massacring them in
great
  numbers.
See Simeon Luce, Histoire de la Jacquerie (Paris, 1859 and 1895).
