Description (anglais) : 'But at four the next morning, the crowd reassembled and pillaged the houses of Sanguin and Borne. This time the militia companies refused to rally, complaining coldly that ‘‘they did not want to defend gabeleurs’’. As a result, the demonstrators expanded their targets. A leader emerged, a poor weaver who was reported to have announced, ‘‘We need a captain: if you want me to do it, look at the pitchfork I am carrying over my shoulder and call me Capitaine La Fourche’’. He was accompanied by his wife and by troops reportedly consisting of children between seven and fifteen years old armed only with rocks - a motley, improvised sort of force. This group besieged and occupied the house of militia captain Nicolas Largentier where they acquired a veritable arsenal of pikes, halberds, and muskets, intensifying the threat to social order. […] Finally roused to action by this new violence, two hundred armed bourgeois arrived and routed the rioters. Two demonstrators were killed on the spot and thirty died later from wounds’.
