Description
During 1572 the peasants, disgruntled by the mistreatment by Hungarian nobles, complained to Ban and Emperor, but to no avail. In protest, the peasants stopped paying their dues, to which the nobles responded by fielding a mercenary army. However, the rebels defeated the mercenaries and Croatian Parliament pronounced them traitors. That sparked a general rebellion with an agenda of overthrowing feudal order, and instating peasant government that will take care of taxes and the defense gainst Ottomans. Even though the rebellion was planned for almost a year, it was crushed with the help of Uskoks in three battles in February 1573, and their sole surviving leader, Ambroz Matija Gubec, cruelly executed as an example.Actions
