Rebellion of wójt Albert

Rebellion of wójt Albert

The Rebellion of wójt Albert took place in Kraków around the years 1311-1312, when wójt Albert, supported by bishop Jan Muskata, prince Bolko I Opolski and many German burghers rebelled against king of Poland, Władysław Łokietek, with the goal of turning Kraków – then the capital of Poland – to House of Luxembourg. The rebellion ended in failure, and Kraków lost many privileges for the support parts of its burghers showed to the rebellion. Similar uprisings took place in several other cities – particularly Sandomierz (crushed by Władysław) and Gdańsk (successful, with the city taken over by the Teutonic Order). Overall the German-speaking minority lost their political ambitions after the failure of most of their rebellions and began to Polonize.
