Etymology:
The term "Jacquerie" comes from the French word "Jacques," which was a common name for peasants in the Middle Ages.
Meaning:
Jacquerie refers to a peasant uprising or rebellion, specifically the peasant revolt that occurred in France from 1358 to 1359.
Origin:
The Jacquerie originated in northern France during the Hundred Years' War (1337-1453). The peasants were suffering from the effects of war, high taxes, and the harsh rule of the feudal nobility.
The Jacquerie began in May 1358 when a group of peasants attacked the manor of a nobleman near Meaux. The rebellion quickly spread to other villages and towns, as peasants joined together to demand relief from their oppression.
The Jacquerie was led by a man named Guillaume Cale and was characterized by extreme violence and brutality. Peasants attacked noblemen, burned manors, and killed those they believed had wronged them.
The French king, John II, sent troops to crush the rebellion. The Jacquerie was defeated in June 1359, and thousands of peasants were killed. The defeat of the Jacquerie marked a turning point in the Hundred Years' War, as the French nobility realized the need to treat the peasants with greater respect and moderation.
