1514 GYÖRGY DÓZSA Revolt of Transylvania (1 ene 1514 año – 20 jul 1514 año)

Descripción:

György Dózsa (or György Székely, Romanian: Gheorghe Doja; 1470 – 20 July 1514) was a Székely man-at-arms (and by some accounts, a nobleman) from Transylvania, Kingdom of Hungary who led a peasants' revolt against the kingdom's landed nobility.

He was eventually caught, tortured, and executed along with his followers, and remembered as both a Christian martyr and a dangerous criminal.

During the reign of king Vladislas II of Hungary (1490–1516), royal power declined in favor of the magnates, who used their power to curtail the peasants' freedom.
