The noise of the miners in Falun 1743 – Court records
Listed in Researchdata.se
The Miners’ Uproar in Falun, 1743 For three days in June 1743, Falun was part of what is known as the Dalecarlian Rebellion or the Great Dalecarlian Dance.
Description
The Parliament’s message about conscription had provoked the fury of the common people. All male inhabitants of Upper Dalarna were called upon via a circular message (budkavle) to "march" to Stockholm to leave their homes and, if necessary, use force to assert their cause.
In Falun, resentment over wages and working conditions in the mine added fuel to the rebellious atmosphere, growing into rage among some of the miners. The authorities—mine foremen, clergy, and townspeople—eventually feared for their lives. Beginning on October 4, 1743, at the urging of the Royal Majesty and Parliament, trials were held against 79 miners and guards.
