Abstract

This article introduces the Jean Nicolas database, a comprehensive resource documenting 8,516 rebellions in France between 1661 and 1789. Based on a survey conducted by Jean Nicolas from the early 1980s to the late 1990s, the database records each event's typology, chronology, location, participant characteristics, forms of confrontation and violence, legal consequences, sources, and authorship. In addition to detailing the construction methodology of the database, the article critically evaluates its reliability by analyzing biases introduced during the original data collection process. It also provides methodological guidance to end users to mitigate the database's limitations.
