This room is dedicated to "Peasant Uprising", a story written by August Šenoa, who was inspired by a historical event that took place in 1573. We will never be quite sure as to what extent the story follows the historical facts. This is the map of the battle movements. The Croatian and Slovene commoners were planning to ransack and burn down all of the nice mansions from my previous post.
A scene put up in one of the mansion's rooms shows lightly dressed commoners, geared up with their simple weapons, facing the cold winter weather and armoured horsemen who marched out to wipe them out.
This literary work was heavily propagated by the socialist regime because it fully served their agenda during the last century. In the end of the story (spoiler coming up), the leader of the rebellion is crowned with a burning metal crown. Such a statement, eh? These are the weapons used at the time.
The bows and arrows are made from branches and not entirely finished. There was no time, apparently. The nobles had to be quickly attacked.
Same thing with the other weapons. Quickly put together from various tools. They look quite deadly, nonetheless.
I'm quite sure that any peasant of the time would have enough sanity to march in spring rather than cold winter. The weather conditions were a major factor of war in those days because battles were won or lost absolutely depending on physical factors.
To be continued...
Enjoy your day! :)
