What happened at the The Jacquerie peasant revolt
The Jacquerie erupted in May 1358 in the Beauvaisis region of northern France, during the turmoil following King John II's capture at Poitiers in the Hundred Years' War. Burdened by taxation, wartime devastation, and noble exploitation, peasants attacked castles and nobles, killing many and destroying property. Led by figures such as Guillaume Cale, the revolt spread rapidly but lacked coordination and military organization. Nobles, led by Charles of Navarre, crushed the uprising within weeks, killing thousands of peasants in brutal reprisals. The Jacquerie became a symbol of class conflict in medieval France and highlighted the social strains caused by war, famine, and the breakdown of royal authority.
