Stefan Fadinger Peasant War Game

The farmers quickly decide to revolt when Governor Herberstorff demands the surrender of their weapons. Before a crucifix, the farmers take an oath of unity and rebellion. Fadinger arrives at the farmers' tavern in Habach in Lambach and initially criticizes the reckless and premature attack, but ultimately comes to terms with it. In a dream, a confrontation occurs between Fadinger and Herberstorff. After the battle at Peuerbach, Fadinger and Zeller receive the (supposed) envoy of the Danish king, who feigns his assistance. Fadinger hesitates while he and Zeller are enthusiastically elected as local leaders. After the deaths of the farmer leaders Fadinger and Zeller, the newly elected local captain Willinger calls for battle. The widows of Fadinger and Zeller advise against it. The former bodyguard of Fadinger, Egger, arrives and reports that Linz is free, not by Herberstorff, but by the farmers.
