Lipka Rebellion
Years: 1672 - 1674
The Lipka Rebellion is a mutiny of several choragwie (regiments) of Lipka Tatar cavalry in 1672, which have been serving in the forces of the Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth since the 14th century.
The immediate cause of the rebellion is arrears of payment of soldiers' wages, although increasing restrictions on their established privileges and religious freedoms also play a role.
