What rebellion, which culminated with the Second Battle of Vinegar Hill, was the largest convict uprising until the 1830 Bathurst rebellion?
Bathurst rebellion The Bathurst rebellion of 1830 was an outbreak of bushranging near Bathurst in the British colony of New South Wales, Australia, involving a group of escaped convicts who ransacked villages and engaged in shootouts between October and November of that year. Led by 25-year-old English convict Ralph Entwistle, the group, known as the Ribon Gang, numbered up to 130 men at its peak, making it the largest convict uprising in New South Wales history since the Castle Hill convict rebellion of 1804.
Rising of the Priests The Rising of the Priests (Maltese: "Ir-Rewwixta tal-Qassisin" ), also known as the Maltese Rebellion of 1775 and the September 1775 Rebellion, was an uprising led by Maltese clergy against the Order of Saint John, who had sovereignty over Malta. The uprising took place on 8 September 1775, but was suppressed by the Order within a few hours. The rebels were then captured and some were executed, exiled or imprisoned.
