In 1514, the Kingdom of Hungary was in the brink of internal collapse.
György Dozsa, had gained a great renown during Europe’s on-again off-again war against Turkish expansion. A papal call for a crusade against the advancing Ottoman Empire has transformed into a massive peasant uprising, led by György Dozsa. The rigid feudal system, heavy taxation, forced labor, and the brutal treatment of peasants have fueled resentment across Hungary. As castles burn and noble authority is challenged, the kingdom faces a critical question: suppress the rebellion through force, attempt reform, or risk total anarchy. Meanwhile, the Ottoman threat still looms on the southern borders, exploiting Hungary’s growing internal divisions. In this committee, you will be placed in the roles of nobles, military leaders, clergy and rebel figures. You must now navigate shifting alliances, social uprisings, military decisions and political consequences. The fate of György Dózsa, the future of serfdom, and the survival of the Hungarian state itself are at the stake.
Will the rebellion be crushed, reformed, or will history take an entirely different path?
