On the conditions, taxation, and sentiments of the working class, the chief sources used for this chapter are Mollat & Wolff,
Ongles Bleues;
Turner, “Economic Discontent”; Perroy, “Wage Labour”; Pirenne,
Europe
, 103–12; Boissonade, 303–7; Thompson,
Econ. and Soc. Hist.;
Carpentier,

, 220–21.

For the Ciompi: Mollat & Wolff, 144–62; Turner; Schevill,
Florence
, 277–83; contemporary texts in Brucker,
Society
, 233–39.

For the insurrections in France and associated events, the chief primary sources are:
Chron. C6
by the Monk of St. Denis, vol. I (especially for Paris), and
Chron. 4 Valois
(especially for Rouen), plus Froissart in KL, IX. The most detailed secondary studies are Mirot’s
Insurrections urbaines
and, for Rouen, Lecarpentier’s
“Harelle.”

On the Peasants’ Revolt in England, so much has been written that it is hardly necessary to cite references except, for convenience, McKisack, Trevelyan, Keen’s “Robin Hood,” and a good account in Collis. The chief primary sources are
Anonimalle
, Malverne’s continuation of P
olychronicon
, and Froissart.

For Ghent, Hutton should be added to the sources mentioned above on the working class, and Froissart.

The chief contemporary sources for Anjou’s campaign for Naples are
Chron. C6
, vol. I, and the
Journal
of Jean le Fèvre. The fullest secondary account is in Valois, vol. II. Additional material from Valeri, 230–31, and on Amadeus of Savoy from Cox, 330–37.

Coucy’s campaign in Italy is fully documented in Durrieu’s
“Prise d’Arezzo”
(Bibliog. I, B) using the
Documenti degli Archivi Toscani … Comune di Firenze
, published 1866, and other Italian sources. Lacaille’s
thèse
adds material on the proceedings of the Florentine Signoria taken from the Chronicle of Naddo da Montecatini, in
Delizie degli eruditi Toscani
, vol. XVIII, Firenze, 1784. The
Chron. de Berne
, reprinted in KL, XI, 442–43, and Jean le Fèvre are further sources. As part of Anjou’s venture, Coucy’s campaign is covered also in Valois, II.

For events and quotations concerning the invasion of England, the Monk of St. Denis
(Chron. C6

“Une tentative”
Terrier de Loray’s life of Vienne, and Roncière’s history of the French navy.
