1596 Revolution

The 1596 Revolution was one of several anti-brunanter revolutions attempted by the people of Middleton. Initially pro-Brunanter sentiment had been strong after their assistance following the 1573 Destruction of Miltona and their successful defence of Miltona in 1594. However rather than assist the town following 1594, the Brunanters raised a tax to cover their losses. Anti-Brunanter sentiment began to rise, culminating in a protest in the town square that was crushed violently, sparking the revolution. The revolution was led by two key people - Inacio Mas and Nadal Garcia. The revolution was quickly crushed as there was still a large contigent of Brunanter soldiers in Middleton. However a small group led by Garcia fled to the interior of the island and carried out anti-Brunanter actions until they were finally caught in 1599.
