Шаблон:Infobox military conflict David's Rebellion (Шаблон:Lang-fi) also known as the Peasants' Revolt of 1438 was a peasant revolt from 1438 to 1439 in Tavastia, spreading from Vesilahti to Lempäälä. The rebellion was propagated by David of Шаблон:Ill, a peasant leader, in response to increased tax burdens.[1]

Background

David or Daavid, was a wealthy householder of the Heikkilä estate from Шаблон:Ill village in Vesilahti to Ruovesi. He along with other people who were of the peasantry, had become frustrated with the increased tightening of taxation. The anger of the peasantry was only increased by the weakening of the fur trade and the increased land grabbing by the nobility in Finland of important lands such as fishing waters and economically important lands owned or controlled by the peasantry.[2] This anger was often directed at wealthy nobility and tax officials, such as Шаблон:Ill, who was the Chief of Turku Castle. However it is also thought by some that David was involved as a political agent who was paid to stir up trouble by Karl Knutsson Bonde.[3][4]

The rebellion

The rebellion began in autumn 1438, and the rebellion's leader was chosen to be David, who was proclaimed the "peasant king" (bondekonung) by his fellow rebels. He and his rebels went on to kill 4 Шаблон:Ill in Nokia, where a mansion was located and owned by the Folkunga family.[2] Along with the rebellion in Tavastia, there was another rebellion in Lammi in anger towards Olav Tavast, who is reported to have thought that David's rebellion was a joke, which is why they reportedly also revolted.[2] The peasantry was reportedly tamed by Шаблон:Ill, who was the Bishop of Turku and by Kröpelin. Ultimately the peasant rebels were given a lenient punishment and were pardoned, they were forced to promise to never rise up against the Swedish Crown again on 9 January.[3] The rebels signed the following document in the Шаблон:Ill, which was drawn up by Maunu II Tavas:[5][3]
