Peasant instead of Insurgent
[edit]Peasant instead of insurgent (specific to the Peasants war), the role of insurgent is tactical, not an identity.
After the expulsion of Duke Ulrich of Württemberg by the members of the Swabian League in 1519, one Georg Staufer of Bloßenstaufen successfully claimed the castle, as a descendant of the old Hohenstaufen dynasty. Therefore, only a small force defended the castle in 1525, when it was taken and destroyed by the peasants during the German Peasants' War. Stones from the castle were later used in the construction of the Renaissance Göppingen Castle.Droveaxle (talk) 06:40, 5 May 2018 (UTC)
