1527 - 1528 Second DALECARLIAN Rebellion of Sweden (1 gen 1527 anni – 31 dic 1528 anni)

Descrizione:

The Dalecarlian rebellions (Swedish: Dalupproren) were a series of Swedish rebellions which took place in Dalarna in Sweden.

The rebellions were conducted by the peasantry of Dalarna against the Swedish monarch, King Gustav Vasa.

Mutual reasons for all three rebellions were loss of support of Gustav I among the Dalecarlian peasantry because of the economic crisis, the increased royal power, and the unpopular Swedish Reformation.

In 1527, the continuing discontent over the economic crisis, a new tax on Lübeck, and the Swedish Reformation, which was launched that year, unleashed the second rebellion in Dalarna, centered around the so-called Daljunkern (The Youngster from Dalarna), who had come from Norway claiming to be Nils Stensson Sture, son of Sten Sture the Younger and Christina Gyllenstierna.

This resulted in a feud between the Dalecarlian parishes, which were divided between their loyalties toward the king and the Sture family.

The king called representatives of the rebels to negotiations in Uppsala in May 1527, and kept ongoing contacts with them.

The Daljunkern left for Norway, but continued to support the rebels from there. In February 1528, the king led an expedition to the Tuna parish, summoned the peasantry at the church, and declared them rebels and outlaws with no right to decide whom to be monarch, and gave them the choice to present all taking part of the rebellion, or else all in the parish were to be executed.

This resulted in the rebels being brought forth and executed on the spot, until the king decided for the end of the bloodbath and accepted to show mercy to the remaining rebels.

In April, one of the leaders, Peder Grym, was publicly executed in the capital.
