Montfortian Rebellion

The Montfortian Rebellion was a political uprising in 15th-century France, led by John IV, Duke of Brittany, against the French crown’s authority. Rooted in regional tensions and disputes over independence, the rebellion sought to resist central government control and assert Brittany’s autonomy. Despite initial successes, the rebellion ultimately failed when French royal forces regained control. The conflict highlighted regional resistance to royal power and contributed to the ongoing struggle between local duchies and the central state during that period.
