Bread and Cheese Revolt

Medieval uprising in the Benelux region

The Bread and Cheese Revolt in Kennemerland, North Holland, was a folk uprising in 1491—92 when peasants and fishermen were provoked by an economic crisis, the tax oppression and garrison policy of John III of Egmont, the stadtholder appointed back in 1483 by Maximilian I. The revolt took its name from the emblems on the banners of insurgents.
