Beginning in a small village but eventually overrunning most of northern France, the Jacquerie rebels destroyed noble castles and killed dozens of noblemen before being put down in a bloody wave of suppression. The revolt occurred in the wake of the Black Death and during the Hundred Years War, and it was closely connected to a rebellion in Paris against the French crown. \u003cem\u003eThe Jacquerie of 1358\u003c\/em\u003e resolves long-standing controversies about whether the revolt was just an irrational explosion of peasant hatred or simply an extension of the Parisian revolt. It shows that these opposing conclusions are based on the illusory assumption that the revolt was a united movement with a single goal. In fact, the Jacquerie has to be understood as a constellation of many events that evolved over time. It involved thousands of people, who understood what they were doing in different and changing ways. The story of the Jacquerie is about how individuals and communities navigated their specific political, social, and military dilemmas, how they reacted to events as they unfolded, and how they chose to remember (or to forget) in its aftermath. \u003cem\u003eThe Jacquerie of 1358\u003c\/em\u003e rewrites the narrative of this tumultuous period and gives special attention to how violence and social relationships were harnessed to mobilize popular rebellion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJustine Firnhaber-Baker, \u003cem\u003eSenior Lecturer, University of St Andrews\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJustine Firnhaber-Baker is Senior Lecturer at the University of St Andrews and a former fellow of All Souls College, Oxford University.
