King See also:John II., belonged by See also:birth to the wealthy Parisian bourgeoisie, being the son of a See also:clothier named See also:Simon Marcel and of Isabelle Barbou. He is mentioned as provost of the Grande-Confrerie of Notre See also:Dame in 1350, and in 1354 he succeeded See also:Jean de Pacy as provost of the Parisian merchants. His See also:political career began in 1356, when John was made prisoner after the See also:battle of See also:Poitiers. In See also:conjunction with See also:Robert le Coq, See also:bishop of See also:Laon, he played a leading See also:part in the states-See also:general called together by the dauphin See also:Charles on the 17thof See also:October. A See also:committee of eighty members, constituted on their initiative, pressed their demands with such insistence that the dauphin prorogued the states-general; but See also:financial straits obliged him to summon them once more on the 3rd of See also:February 1357, and the promulgation of a See also:great See also:edict of reform was the consequence. John the See also:Good forbade its being put into effect, whereupon a conflict began between Marcel and the dauphin, Marcel endeavouring to set up Charles the See also:Bad, king of See also:Navarre, in opposition to him. The states-general assembled again on the 13th of See also:January 1358, and on the 22nd of February the populace of Paris, led by Marcel, invaded the See also:palace and murdered the marshals of See also:Champagne and See also:Normandy before the See also:prince's eyes. Thenceforward Marcel was in open hostility to the See also:throne. After vainly hoping that the insurrection of the See also:Jacquerie might turn to his See also:advantage, he next supported the king of Navarre, whose armed bands infested the neighbourhood of Paris. On the See also:night of the 31st of See also:July Marcel was about to open the See also:gates of the See also:capital to them, but Jean Maillart prevented the See also:execution of this See also:design, and killed him before the See also:Porte See also:Saint-See also:Antoine. During the following days his adherents were likewise put to See also:death, and the dauphin was enabled to re-enter Paris. Etienne Marcel married first Jeanne de See also:Dammartin, and secondly See also:Marguerite See also:des Essars, who survived him.
