Battle of Mello
The Battle of Mello was the decisive and largest engagement of the Peasant Jacquerie of 1358, a rebellion of peasants in the Beauvais region of France, which caused an enormous amount of damage to this wealthy region at the height of the Hundred Years War with England. The battle was in fact two separate engagements, a major battle at Mello and a smaller one at the nearby town of Meaux, which the battle is also sometimes named after.
