16th-century conflict in the Holy Roman Empire
The Knights' War, also known as the Imperial Knights' Revolt (27 August 1522 – 6 May 1523), was a failed attempt by the Brotherly Convention (of knights) led by the Evangelical knight Franz von Sickingen to forcibly remove Richard, Prince-Bishop of Trier and secularize his lands. The private feud resulted in the death of Sickingen and likely inspired the German Peasants' War of 1524–1526.
