CABOCHE, See also:SIMON . Simon Lecoustellier, called " Caboche," a See also:skinner of the See also:Paris Boucherie, played an important See also:part in the Parisian riots of 1413. He had relations with See also:John the Fearless, See also:duke of See also:Burgundy, since 1411, and was prominent in the seditious disturbances which See also:broke out in See also:April and May, following on the Etats of See also:February 1413. In April he stirred the See also:people to the point of revolt, and was among the first to enter the hotel of the dauphin. When the butchers had made themselves masters of Paris, Caboche became See also:bailiff (huissier d'armes) and See also:warden of the See also:bridge of Charenton. Upon the publication of the See also:great See also:ordinance of May 26th, he used all his efforts to prevent conciliation between the Burgundians and the Armagnacs. After the fall of the Cabochien party on the 4th of See also:August he fled to Burgundy in See also:order to See also:escape from royal See also:justice. Doubtless he returned to Paris in 1418 with the Burgundians. See See also:Colville, See also:Les Cabochienset l'ordonnancede 1413 (Paris, 1888).
