A chronicler says he won’t discuss “the awful things” that participants in this event “did to ladies” and then immediately says they killed a woman’s husband, roasted him on a spit, raped her, and tried to feed her his flesh. After coming from a crusade in Prussia, Gaston Phoebus and the Captal de Buch (“BOOSH”) helped end this event by saving a besieged market-town. In the reprisals after this event, the protagonist of Barbara Tuchman’s (“TUCK-minz”) A Distant Mirror held his first military command. This event, which occurred in the Oise (“WAHZ”) Valley, got its name from a padded surplice (“SUR-pliss”) used by participants as armor. This event ended after a failed assault on Meaux (“MOH”) and a battle at Mello. This event, in which Charles the Bad betrayed a promise of safe passage to Guillaume Cale (“gee-YOHM KAHL”), began with popular resentment after John II’s capture at Poitiers (“PWAH-tee-ay”). For 10 points, what peasant uprising arose during the Hundred Years’ War in northern France? ■END■
