The Falcon Rebellion

Revolution

A major peasant rebellion following the death of Dug Jafrez I.

With the sudden death of Dug Jafrez 1, a peasant rebellion against a burdensome tax policy erupted in the Meneziou Du, led by the Hoseguéannet rebel Kado Bronzefork. Beginning with his wife and 30 friends around a Tantad fire, they marched along Gargantua's Spine, passing other bonfires and gathering more and more people to their cause. They had 3,100 in the number by the time they reached the Kerchouan Mene, 9,000 when they sacked Landreger.   They marched South from Landreger to attack the Dugal treasury at Gwenrann, their numbers swelling to 30,300. Here, they piled 300 carts around the walls of the fortress and set them alike, burning down the defenses and ransacking the tax offices within.
