This illustration of the Cabochien Uprising comes from a Manuscript of The Life of Charles VII. As the source tends to be Armagnac-aligned, the violence of the uprising is played up. In all only a handful of people were killed during the riots that surrounded the Cabochien Uprising.
John the Fearless continues to be dominant in Paris, but with the Peace of Auxerre coming into effect, the Armagnacs are attempting to share in the Government of France once more. To ensure his power, John the Fearless courts the radicals of Paris and the Estates General, but soon the radicals develop a mind of their own and a medieval French Revolution might be in the making.

That was a very exciting episode. I hadn’t known that France was so turbulent at the time.
