A decade after The Black Death, French peasants rose up suddenly against the nobility in an unprecedented and remarkably coordinated revolt. This week, Danièle speaks with Dr. Justine Firnhäber-Baker about the rebellion that shocked the elites of Europe: the Jacquerie.
Justine Firnhaber-Baker is a Senior Lecturer at the University of St Andrews, where she focuses her research on France between the thirteenth and fifteenth centuries. Justine’s latest book is The Jacquerie of 1358: A French Peasants’ Revolt, published by Oxford University Press.
