The Böda Uprising (Swedish: Bödaupproret), also known as the Forest Rebellion (Swedish: Skogsupproret) was an uprising regarding the rights of the Ölanders to the forest. The uprising was sparked over disputes over the king's claims upon the forest in Öland as the islanders saw their generational heritage as a good enough reason to exploit the forest's resources.
