Details. There are none, save what may be recalled from a picture book or the History Channel. Wetman 00:51, 30 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] See french version of article

It is alot different to the english one. The french call all revolts by peasants a Jacquerie. It comes from "Bonhomme Jacques" or Goodman Jack, the appelation for a typical french farmer

[edit] Assessment

A fine start, covering all the basic information. But I think that Wetman's comment from two years ago still largely holds true. Needs further expansion from sources other than the one public-domain element listed. LordAmeth 09:24, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A little bit of an update

I tried to use a combination of primary and secondary sources from Samuel Cohn's chapter on the Jacquerie from his book entitled Popular Protest in Late Medieval Europe. What I have come to notice during research for this topic is that this peasant revolt is, overall, under researched. There are very few sources on the matter. I also think that this article and the article on Guillaume Cale could probably be merged. Mikegio 23:12, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
