The Popular Revolutions of the Late Middle Ages
By Michel Mollat, Philippe Wolff
(The Great Revolutions Series, No. 6)

From the eleventh to the thirteenth century Europe passed through a phase of demographic and economic expansion involving some social regrouping, together with a certain accentuation of differences of fortune and the development of new methods of production. But a general increase in welfare prevented the social conflicts, which could be detected here and there, from breaking out.

Then, during the thirteenth century this expansion ran out of steam, and from about 1280 disturbances arose at intervals in the more developed regions of Europe. During the fourteenth century wars, famines and epidemics marked an almost general recession, and the conflicts grew in size and depth. They culminated in the revolutionary years of 1378–82 with the Florentine “Ciompi”, the revolts in Flanders and France, and the risings among English labourers. The survey ends in the Hussite crisis which gave the movement a new aspect.

The troubles were very varied. In the towns there were simple hunger riots, and in the country there was brigandage. There were also open struggles between the lords and the peasants, as well as urban conflicts for access to municipal power and the achievement of greater fiscal justice; and finally true labour conflicts over questions of pay and hours.

An overall survey of these revolts has not so far been produced. The authors have striven to take as detached an attitude as possible of the views of both Marxist and non-Marxist historians, and they have examined the consequences, both immediate and distant, of all this agitation.
