The burghers prevented the peasants from travelling to the mainland and protest to the king, and soon open hostilities broke out. A battle was fought at Högebro, where the burghers emerge victorious thanks to their superior armament. The peasants did not prevail, however, and a new battle was fought at the Monastery of Roma, where neither fraction emerged victorious. The priests of the island now intervened, trying to bring about conciliation between the parties. They succeed in securing a fragile peace.

  • The burghers prevented the peasants from travelling to the mainland and protest to the king, and soon open hostilities broke out. A battle was fought at Högebro, where the burghers emerge victorious thanks to their superior armament. The peasants did not prevail, however, and a new battle was fought at the Monastery of Roma, where neither fraction emerged victorious. The priests of the island now intervened, trying to bring about conciliation between the parties. They succeed in securing a fragile peace. When King Magnus received words of the conflict he summoned representatives of the fighting parties and condemned the burghers to pay 200 mark silver, and 50 mark pfennig as penance for their deeds. Magnus also stipulated that future conflicts should be settled by him, and that the peasants should be prevented from making complaints to the king. Magnus also enters into an agreement with the city of Visby, which in principle states that only the Swedish king shall be the master of Gotland. The Swedish king had long been wanting to expand eastward, and the conflict provided a golden opportunity to strengthen his power over Gotland, which until then had enjoyed a large measure of autonomy.
