Christian III of Denmark ("Sankt Libers hög") near Lund Cathedral. This resulted in a two-year civil war, known as the Count's Feud ("Grevens Fejde") from 1534–36, between Protestant and Catholic forces. Count Christopher had the support of most of Zealand, Scania, the Hanseatic League, and the small farmers of northern Jutland and Funen. Christian III found his support among the nobles of Jutland. In 1534, peasants under Skipper Clement (c. 1484–1536) began an uprising in northern Jutland, pillaging the holdings of Lutheran nobles. An army of nobles and their vassals assembled at Svendstrup and suffered a terrible defeat at the hands of the peasants.
