Saukrieg

1500s feud

The so-called Saukrieg of 1555–1558 was a feud between John of Carlowitz and Zuschendorf and the Bishop of Meißen, John IX of Haugwitz. During the course of the feud, Carlowitz had 700 pigs, belonging to the bishop's subjects, driven away in order to pursue his claims, which explains the rather unusual name of the feud. The Saukrieg has been described as the last feud "in the spirit of the Middle Ages".
