Description
For history lovers, this book offers not only a comprehensive view of an issue that has never been addressed in this way before, but also a number of intriguing revelations. The publication captivatingly captures the causes and course of the uprising, as well as the fate of the leaders of the 'rebellion,' using preserved sources. It documents the important role of scribes and also the casting of dice, which was part of the Baroque ritual of the 'theater of death.' It sheds light on the cruel treatment of serfs by some estate owners and the curious reason for the uprising in the village of Vtelno (Mělnické). The role of weapons in the entire conflict is also not overlooked. The edition includes a reissue of the novel 'Železná koruna' from 1881, which is confronted here with historical facts as well as with later works published under the same title. The book is supplemented with a number of interesting illustrations and a unique excerpt from poetry reflecting the tumultuous events of the uprising.
