who held the king captured in Sønderborg, because he wanted to give peasants more rights.
Kind of a myth, for some reason he is sometimes called Christian The Good, try saing that to a swede, he was responseble for the bloodbath in Stockholm.
C4: Thereafter it came to civil war in Denmark, as the peasants rose in Jylland and Fyn (Funen) A famoues rebel leader (Can't remember his name, damned! something about a fisher) was slain in Ålborg with his men, because of the supority of the mercanerys heavy cavalery, which they could do no harm to.
The heavy Cavalery was actually the Knights first send to fight they, they were trick, to fight in a swampy area outside of Aalborg, well guess what happens to heavy knights in a swamp.
C4: On Funen, the same happened, the revolt ended and the aristocrats got Christopher I on the throne.
Count Christoffer was actually a heir pretenter put on the thrown by the Hansa in Copenhagen. Rantzau and Christian III ousted him after the fall of Copenhagen, but the king was ask to spare him, by his own men, so Christoffer was send out of the country for life. But your right the peasant did have a hash life, I just don't think it would have been much better under Christian II, this is properbly why they rose against him in the first place, but you know how it is, the old days was always better so why not try getting them back, who knows that that new king wants and he is a Luteran.
