1ᵉʳ mars 1382·Paris

Toll
16 selon une chronique, des centaines selon une autre

The toll is reproduced exactly as the source states it — never rounded, never added to another. Tolls overlap from one event to the next.

Jewish quarter looted, Jews killed, children forcibly baptized and entrusted to Christian families

The Maillotins revolt — named after the lead mallets seized from the arsenal — broke out in Paris against the reimposition of taxes. As in 1380, the crowd turned on tax collectors, then on the Jewish quarter.

The looting there was methodical: pledges were returned to debtors, debt bonds were burned, and houses were emptied. Residents were killed, children were forcibly baptized and placed with Christian families. The chronicles differ on the scale of the killing, one account holding it to be limited, another considerable.

Charles VI, having returned to his capital in force, harshly punished the Maillotins and ordered restitution; he had the children sought out. What remained of the Parisian community did not survive the ordinance of 1394.
