What do we call the medieval French uprising of 1358?

The story behind the answer

It refers to the 1358 peasant rising in northern France, sparked by war taxation, devastation from the Hundred Years’ War, and noble exactions. Chroniclers used the common, often derisive nickname for peasants (“Jacques”) to label the revolt. Bands of rural laborers attacked manor houses and targeted nobles, but the movement lacked central organization and was brutally suppressed; the leader Guillaume Cale was captured and executed.

Context helps separate it from similarly named French uprisings: the Harelle (Rouen, 1382), the Maillotins (Paris, 1382), and the Cabochiens (Paris, 1413). Occurring after the French defeat at Poitiers (1356) and King John II’s captivity, the revolt intersected with urban unrest led by Étienne Marcel in Paris. Its violent repression hardened social divisions and became a cautionary tale about peasant revolt in late medieval Europe.
