Calendar riots in Riga
From Warlike
Q1240241
Calendar Riots in Riga were a series of uprisings by the citizens of Riga between 1584 and 1589 against the authority of the Riga Town Council and King Stephen Báthory, who had issued an order to adopt the Gregorian calendar. Citizens viewed the reform as an imposition of new restrictions, and opposition to the calendar became intertwined with a broader power struggle between the patricians and the guilds, as well as a new wave of Catholic persecution.
