David's Rebellion (Finnish: Davidin/Daavidin kapina) also known as the Peasants' Revolt of 1438 was a peasant revolt from 1438 to 1439 in Upper Satakunta, spreading from Vesilahti to Lempäälä. The rebellion was propagated by David of Ania, also called Crazy David of Upper Satakunta, who was a peasant leader, in response to increased tax burdens.^[1]
