The Red Uprising sometimes also called the Dragenthal Rebellion or the Heartland Uprising, was a conflict that raged between 271 AC and 272 AC. This is one of the few internal military conflicts of the Regalian Empire where military command was deployed to deal with internal uprisings. Normally smaller rebellions would be dealt with by the feudal lords, but the Red Uprising became so large (and also included many ranks of the Barons and Counts of the Heartland provinces) that it could not be contained by the Dukes. The conflict arose due to the extreme taxation and civil abuse by the van Sherburne (formerly Calontir) family, and due to Emperor Justinian II's repeated refusal to lower taxes. The Heartland bore the brunt of the financial recovery after several wars, and small rebellions formed into a major uprising across the whole province. The uprising was short and eventually got put down, but it is historically significant because a great number of politicians and statesmen died while trying to put down the rebellion. The rebels also effectively succeeded, executing the Chancellor, and getting the Emperor to concede on a tax reduction, one of the extremely rare cases of the Regalian Empire internally appearing weak to its own citizens. This would also signal the official settling of the Regalian Pessimism in the minds of the Empire's denizens.
