[2] This anger was often directed at wealthy nobility and tax officials, such as Hans Kröpelin [fi], who was the Chief of Turku Castle.

He and his rebels went on to Viikki Manor (located in present-day Nokia) and killed four soldiers (Finnish: huovi [fi]) who were in service of Jöns Turensson (Odygd), a member of the Folkunga family.

[2] The peasant revolt was tamed by Magnus II Tavast [fi], who was the Bishop of Turku and by Hans Kröpelin by inviting the rebels to discuss tax reductions at Lempäälä.

[3] The rebels signed the following document in the Parish of Lempäälä [fi], which was drawn up by Magnus II Tavast:[5][3] To all who hear or read this letter, we acknowledge and make it known that we, the residents of the parishes of Pirkkala, Kangasala, Lempäälä, Vesilahti, Kyrö, and the upper and lower Sastamala, have grievously transgressed against our sovereign, the Kingdom of Sweden, the Council of the Realm, and our leaders, in following that scoundrel and mischief-maker David and his brothers and others from his company, in their deceit and ruin, causing us to violate our lives, properties, both land and movable, according to the laws of the realm.

Should it happen, which God forbid, that we or any one of us should transgress against our sovereign, the kingdom, or our leader through treachery or any other form of betrayal, we bind ourselves to reopen this matter, which has been forgiven so graciously as written above, as if we had just then committed it, and it shall be rectified according to the laws without mercy.
