Question

What were the reasons for the french of 1358 revolt?

Answer 1

Columbia Encyclopedia

The uprising was in part a reaction to widespread poverty during the

Hundred Years War. Peasants revolted against the écorcheurs (mercenaries who fought in the war), who pillaged their land, and the nobles, who made extortionate demands but did not protect them. Beginning around Beauvais, north of Paris, the revolt spread over a wide area; castles were demolished, provisions stolen, and other violent acts committed. The leader, Guillaume Karle (or Cale), was captured and beheaded by Charles II of Navarre, and the mob was easily dispersed. The nobles took revenge by massacring thousands of the insurgents.

It was called a Jacquerie = collection of Jacques, which is, like Jacques Bonhomme, a nickname for the French peasant.

French had no food, the public was starving and the Royalties were having fun with their fool stomach. people wanted their voice heard and they were inspired by other current events such as the American Revolution the ideal of freedom and democracy.
