Would some kind soul (or colleague) please cross-post this message onto other medieval history lists, esp. medieval French history? I'd be very grateful indeed. (When I posted it on 'medieval religion' I had zero responses.) G.D. In R. Fossier, *Peasant Life in the Medieval West* (trans. J. Vale) (Oxford, 1988), p.46, the author describes peasant movements, which I see as primarily religious movements or popular crusades--even though some do go on to become riots, anticlerical and antisemitic massacres, etc.--as "jacqueries"; he says: 'There were many such movements all over Europe in the mid-thirteenth [sic!] century, in the south of England, Flanders, Picardy, Champagne, Swabia, Limagne, the Vivarais, the Toulousain, Catalonia and Tuscany--the "Pastoureaux", the "Enfants", the "Capuchonnes", the "Statutari" and many others...' Now, I know a wee bit about the others--but who were the STATUTARI? They may not belong to 'the mid-thirteenth century' at all, because NONE of the others, with the single exception of the "Pastoureaux" of 1251, do (e.g. not the "Pastoureaux" of 1320!). I don't recall the French edition carrying any notes at this point, but I may be wrong. Gary Dickson University of Edinburgh %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
