Slovene peasant revolt of 1515
The Slovene peasant revolt (Slovene: slovenski kmečki upor, German: Windischer Bauernbund), also known as the All-Slovene Peasant Uprising (vseslovenski kmečki upor),[1] took place in 1515 and was the largest peasant revolt in the Slovene Lands.It engulfed most of what is now Slovenia as well as a significant portion of the province of Carinthia, which today is a part of Austria.The spark which started this uprising was when the ethnic German peasants of the Gottschee region killed their lord Jorg von Thurn.They attacked the castles within the region, except in the territory of the County of Görz, where conflicts were solved through negotiations.The revolt was put down by the mercenaries of the Holy Roman Empire, with the deciding battle fought at Celje.
