Jacquerie

A jacquerie, even if carried out with the most respectful of intentions, cannot fail to leave some traces of embarrassment behind it.

“Is that what you’re setting your hopes on, man? What do you expect? A housewives’ rebellion? A Jacquerie?[”]

Whenever a jacquerie occurred, the authorities looked "upon it as a revolt of the underdog against his native oppressor."

Nearly three thousand manors were destroyed (15 per cent of the total) during the Jacquerie of 1905-6.
