Two of the ringleaders were beheaded outside the castle, and at the same time the prophet Hans Boheim was burnt to ashes.

Thus ended a typical religio-social peasant revolt of the half-century preceding the great Reformation movement.
In 1491 the oppressed and plundered villeins of Kempten revolted, but the movement was quelled by the Emperor himself after a compromise.

A great rising took place in Elsass (Alsace) in 1493 among the feudatories of the Bishop of Strassburg, with the usual object of freedom for the "common man," abolition of feudal exactions, Church reformation, etc.

This movement is interesting, as having first received the name of the _Bundschuh_.

It was decided that as the knight was distinguished by his spurs, so the peasant should have as his device the common shoe of his class, laced from the ankle through to the knee by leathern thongs, and the banner whereon this emblem was depicted was accordingly made.
