# Stephan Fadinger

> Stefan Fadinger was an Austrian farmer who, along with his brother-in-law, Christoph Zeller, was the leader of the peasants during the Peasants' War in Upper Austria. A Protestant, Fadinger opposed his Catholic Bavarian overlords, and after Adam Von Herberstorff played a "dice game" wherein many were hanged, he planned a revolt. Once the revolt began earlier than he expected, he and Zeller led the rebels to defeat the Bavarians and lay siege to Linz. During the Siege Fadinger was wounded in the chest on 28 June 1626 and died six days later on 5 July. After Zellers death on 18 July the Rebel leadership was crippled and the revolt was crushed by November 1626.
