1478 CARINTHIAN Peasant Revolt (1 jan 1478 ano – 31 dez 1478 ano)

Descrição:

The Carinthian Peasant Revolt (German: Kärntner Bauernaufstand; Slovene: koroški kmečki upor) took place in the Duchy of Carinthia (present-day Austria and Italy) in 1478.

It was the first of several larger peasant revolts in the area of Inner Austria.

After several Ottoman raids from 1473 onwards, the rural population established a peasants' association that was an effort to take the defence of the farmers' homes into their own hands and was also aimed against the ruling nobility that had failed to protect the farmers from attacks by marauding Turkish akinji cavalry.

The revolt was eventually suppressed.
