The Cabochien revolt was an episode in the civil war between the Armagnacs and the Burgundians in the spring of 1413, when John the Fearless, duke of Burgundy, managed to raise the people of Paris. The Duke aligned himself with the écorcheurs or butchers named “Cabochiens”, a relatively wealthy class of tradespeople not integrated within Parisian high & aristocratic class and encouraged revolt. Riotous mobs, sporting distinctive white caps, assaulted Armagnac noblemen and followers, and their properties throughout the city and controlled Paris for four months. However, the exactions of the Cabochiens and of the Burgundians were causing increasing dissatisfaction among the population who began to rise against the Cabochiens and a pitched battle took place in the Place de Gueve between the butchers and the carpenters (allies of the Academics) which the latter won. The Cabochiens revolt was over.
