Knights´ Revolt

"The Knights´ Revolt (27 August 1522 – 6 May 1523) was a short-lived revolt by several German protestant, imperial knights, led by Franz von Sickingen, against Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor. It has been called the "Poor Barons´ Rebellion" as it inspired the bloody German Peasants´ War of 1524–1526.
