Cudgel War
The Club War (also Cudgel War, , ) was a 1596/97 peasant uprising in the kingdom of Sweden (now Finland). The name of the uprising derives from the fact that the peasants armed themselves with various blunt weapons, such as cudgels, flails and maces, as they were seen as the most efficient weapons against their heavily armoured enemies. The yeomen also had swords, some firearms and two cannons at their disposal. Their opponents, the troops of Clas Eriksson Fleming, were professional, heavily armed and armoured men-at-arms.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Finnish peasant history )〕
