The Vice Inga - insurgency refers to the collection of large populations of the Old Saxons against the Franks 841/842 and 843

The term parking Inga comes probably from the Frisian, meaning companion, comrade.

The occasion of the uprising can be found in the taking place at this time brother struggles of the Carolingian royal family. After his defeat at the Battle of Fontenoy -en- Puisaye Lothar I fled into the Duchy of Saxony, and turned with a request for support against Louis the German to Saxon Frilinge ( Free ) and distillates ( farmers ). In return, he promised he would return to paganism and to their old life and legal customs. The Saxon tribes were only some 50 years after the Great were forcibly converted to Christianity and subdued by the Franks during the Saxon wars of Charlemagne.

After initial successes of Saxony succeeded Ludwig II to end the revolt. He secured his rule in Saxony and held a merciless judgment upon the rebels.

843 there was another commotion, but they were also quickly ended. Due to the suppression of the uprising succeeded the permanent integration of the Saxon population in the Frankish kingdom.

This event represents the last attempt of the Saxon tribes to help them regain independence

Another theory for the reasons of the control input uprising was led by Caspar Ehlers 2005. After Ehlers is in the insurgent to the " [ ... ] disappointed ( forcibly? ) Integrated axes of the first hour [ ... ]. , You would have been the Saxon elites, who had put on the promises of the Franks and Christianity and so had lost through donations and foundations much of their property. way they had lost their status as elites in Saxony. in the parking Inga uprising they would have tried to defend their position against the now newly ascending and rich - wealthy noble families, but this fails with the suppression of the parking Inga uprising, so that in consequence a new elite in Saxony forms.
