The Bloody Carnival (Hungarian: véres farsang) was the massacre of Székely serfs in February 1596 after their rebellion for the restoration of their freedom.[1] The Székelys rose up because the Diet of Transylvania had refused to restore their freedom.[1][2] Sigismund Báthory, Prince of Transylvania promised them to restore their freedom if they joined his campaign against the Ottomans in Wallachia in autumn 1595.[1][2]
