Sardinian Vespers in Cagliari

After the failed invasion, insurgents urged relief from feudal law; Sardinian aristocrats' requests for representation were refused.

Following the failed 1793 French invasion, local insurgents urged relief from feudal law and excessive aristocratic control. Aristocrats from Cagliari asked for a Sardinian representative in the kingdom's parliament, and Sardinians also sought the re-introduction of the Corti Generali assembly and a Ministry of Sardinian Affairs in Turin. When the Savoyards refused any concession, the path to the April 1794 uprising was set.
