The Large one Shoed
the Large one Shoed or Ferret (born with Rivecourt, Oise, towards 1330, and died in this locality in 1358) is a popular hero of the Guerre One hundred Year old. This peasant was equipped with an extraordinary force. He started by being distinguished at the sides from Guillaume Allocates it during the Jacquerie Beauvaisis. He then accurately served the dolphin (future Charles V), and in 1358, was distinguished with defense from the castle from Longueil which the English of Creil had tried to seize. The chronicler Jean de Venette tells that, armed with his only axe, it only cut down with him eighty-five his adversaries. Struck pneumonia to be itself bathed in a cool water and obliged to confine to bed itself in its thatched cottage of Rivecourt, it was distinguished again. The English had believed to be able to surprise it in its sleep and to strike it, but, on their arrival, it caught his axe and cut down five more of its adversaries while the others fled. He recoucha then and died shortly after.
A statue in the honor of Large Shoed was set up on the place of Longueil-Holy-Marie (Oise).
