The Jacquerie of 1358: A Spontaneous and Disorganized Revolt Amidst French Chaos

The Jacquerie of 1358 was a spontaneous, unstructured peasant uprising, fueled by anger toward the nobility, economic hardship, and the general collapse of law and order in France following the capture of King John II at Poitiers (1356). Lacking central leadership or coordination, the revolt spread from village to village, igniting a wave of destruction across northern France.
