Hello all, I am back with another Chapter! The Revolt of England has been successful! Now, other Revolts have started cropping up around Europe, especially Western Europe. In particular, France has experienced a peasant Revolt. How will things pan out for England and France? Only one way to find out...
Escalation
The English Peasant Revolt had been a great success, helping to drive progress in the treatment of the average citizen. But this had not been confined to England for long. Groups throughout Europe had begun to rapidly spring up following the success of the English Revolt. Peasant Groups began to make waves in Europe, as they looked for more right. The majority were ended soon after they began.
However, there were those that had much larger impacts on Europe. In particular, France had seen a massive uprising, now dubbed as the Haralle. Led by Bernard Monte, they rampaged through the countryside, gathering followers. It was not long before they had gathering a support base that rivalled that of England, gaining 80,000 by July.
This group had a mission; to depose the king and replace him with a new, more effective king, one that could deal with the English and help the peasantry. To do this, the Haralle intended on doing as the English rebels had done. Like how the English marched on London, they were going to do the same to Paris.
All this chaos in France was only a good thing for England, making it easier for the English invasion. Because of this, many of the English Nobles ironically encouraged this Revolt, offering supplies to the Haralle to keep them going. The Haralle outright rejected these offers, not wanting to associate with the enemy. The Haralle also made sure to attack any English force they saw.
This however, resulted in the War being extended, something that Roger Moors highly disagreed with. He believed that the soldiers should decide whether the war continues. He tried to campaign for representation for the soldiers, but his pleas fell on deaf ears by both the king and the peasantry. It was because of this that Moors decided to step down from his position as the Supreme Commander of the Liberty army, retiring from public life until 1385.
In his stead, Moor's former right hand man Thomas Bockwell would step up as Supreme commander, with James Moors would step up as the second-in-command. This would quickly result in a debate between the two when Richard II asked them to support the English soldiers in France. Thomas Bockwell wished the reject the request, knowing that would be what Roger Moors would have wanted. James Moors, on the other hand, wanted to support the English troops to help in the war effort. Perhaps they could even negotiate with the Haralle, after all, if they would listen to any englishmen, it would be a fellow peasant group.
The peasant group, now dubbed The Coalition of Peasants (The CP), would initially reject the call to action, as Bockwell was in charge. However, this ideological difference would split the CP, giving rise to counter-revolutionaries such as the bitter Walworth, wishing to restore the old system, and crush the notion of the peasantry holding power over the state.
