Yes, such a brutal dynamic. If the Lord preserved his forces, he could at least maintain order in the aftermath, though his inaction undermined the basis of the social contract. If the Lord risked battle and lost, things could get much worse. In cases when Chevauchee's were engaged and destroyed, the retribution on the defeated was terrible.

[@mattslater167]

I would love to see a piece on the Jacquerie, after Poitiers, of course. But can you imagine living in France in the winter of 1356-57? Like, the Black Death was 8 years ago, the Little Ice Age is still picking up steam (so to speak), the Church is helpless and obviously kinda corrupt, there's nobody to call out any little old baronet for anything they do, everybody just picked up a giant bill for King Jean's ransom, and almost every knight or noble with a fee of any sort is either brand new, unable to fight, a demonstrated coward, or owes another giant ransom tab for themselves. Yikes!

[@hazchemel]

As all the rapine, plunder, pillage, tillage, carnage, hacking, sacking, torching and whatnot goes on in the traditional manner the Byzantines meanwhile, blind the several thousands of (Bulgari?) survivors remaining following the army's annihilation, leaving every tenth man a single eye that he may lead a blinded platoon home. Having cheered 30,000 the cream of the nation to war, a few thousand mutilated invalided and dependent young men return by the 10. Amazingly well developed doctrine of "totally crushing victory" by our medieval ancestors, this being norm.

[@charlesc.9012]

Back then, people grew up around death, with a 75% child mortality rate and a high maternal death rate. They also slaughtered their own (often young) animals every autumn, the very ones they slept next to all year and cuddled as calves. They were hard people, no matter where you lived and grew up. If you were also illiterate and did not receive an education, you mind would naturally be filled with animalistic violence and a total disregard towards life. Even today, people growing up in slums are far more violent than the dandy posh children, but times back then were far harder than any slum today, because the black death came with continent-wide famine caused by the little ice age

John I deserved execution. His refusal to challenge Edward means he effectively murdered everyone killed during the raid.

[@lahire4943]

That's a really dubious reasoning. The ones who murdered everyone killed during the raid were the raiders themselves, not anyone else.

[@ihl0700677525]

IMO John was wise to avoid fighting the English in the open. Edward had mobility advantage so John could not realistically capture/destroy the entire English army even if he won a battle against the invaders. On the other hand, if John lose an open battle, he might lose his entire army, which basically meant loss of Toulouse, and perhaps the entire region with it. Sometimes Fabian strategy is the only viable option. Ofc John should have anticipated English movement and prepare better defense of the region (e.g. fortifying towns, etc), instead of just hurtling down in Tolouse.

[@greyfells2829]

Pretty sure it was Edward who killed those people. Your reasoning implies that westerners are responsible for terror attacks because we refuse sharia.
