The Jacquerie, a popular revolt by peasants that takes place in northern France in 1358, during the Hundred Years' War, is centered in the Oise valley north of Paris.

This rebellion becomes known as the Jacquerie because the nobles deride peasants as "Jacque" or "Jaque Bonhomme" for their padded surplice called "jacque".

Their revolutionary leader Guillaume Cale is also popularly known as Jacques Bonhomme ("Jim Goodfellow") or Callet.

The word "Jacquerie" is to become synonymous for peasant uprisings in general.
