Västergötland rebellion

Shortly thereafter, the sister of the king, Margareta Eriksdotter Vasa, returned to Sweden after a visit to Germany, and was captured on her way by the mayor of Jönköping in Småland, Nils Arvidsson.

The initiators and leaders of the rebellion were nobleman Ture Jönsson (Tre Rosor) and Bishop Magnus Haraldsson of Skara, and among the leading members were the riksråd Måns Bryntesson (Lilliehöök), riksråd Ture Eriksson (Bielke), lagman Nils Olofsson (Vinge), Tord Bonde, governor Nils Clausen of Älvsborg Castle, and Axel Nilsson Posse.

In a meeting between the rebels on 25 April, the peasantry of Västergötland encouraged the rebellious lords to write a statement of demands to the king in exchange for peace.

Jöran Turesson (Tre Rosor), son of lord Svarte Ture Jönsson, and his private rebel army was captured in Hälsingland.

[8] In June 1529, Måns Bryntesson (Lilliehöök), and Nils Olofsson (Vinge) were sentenced to death and executed; riksråd Ture Eriksson (Bielke) was pardoned because his mother asked for mercy on his part.
