  Notes	Etienne was the son of Simon Marcel, clothier, and Isabelle Barbou. He was the provost of the merchants of Paris. [1] He was firstly married to Jeanne de Dammartin (daughter of Mathilde de Dammartin and the sister of Geoffroi de Dammartin). [1] [2] He was secondly married to Marguerite des Essarts (daughter of Pierre des Essarts). [1] Etienne was elected as deputy of the third estate to the States General of 1355 and 1356. Taking advantage of the French defeat of Poitiers, he wanted to impose the Grand Ordinances of 1357 on the Dauphin Charles (future King Charles V). These provided for a limitation of royal power, by controlling the royal taxes by the States General. The Dauphin refused, and Etienne raised the people of Paris. In January 1358, Parisians invaded the king's palace, assassinated two advisers of the Dauphin in the presence of the latter and forced him to accept the Grand Ordinances. [3] During the peasant revolt of June 1358, Etienne sent Parisian militias to support the peasants. They were crushed in Meaux at the same time as the peasants. The Dauphin managed to escape and block Paris with his army. The defeat of the peasants exasperated the Parisians who rebelled. On 31 July 1358, Jean Maillard (an alderman) had Etienne assassinated in front of the Saint-Antoine gate. [1] [3] [4] Sources ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 Société de l'histoire de Paris et de l'Ile-de-France.
