Peasant Uprising in Podhale

The Peasant Uprising in Podhale (1630–1633) was a peasant revolt against Mikołaj Komorowski, who managed the Nowy Targ estates in Poland. Unrest in Podhale began as early as 1625 and escalated into an open armed conflict by 1630, lasting until 1633. The largest battle of the uprising, the first battle of Nowy Targ, took place in 1631. The leader of the uprising was Stanisław Łętowski, and the insurgents even proclaimed the Republic of Nowy Targ. The uprising was eventually suppressed by noble and royal forces.
