| In the spring of 1648 a series of uncoordinated risings heralded the second civil war. |
| A famine in that year caused further risings by the peasants against the communists. |
| Peasant risings had erupted in the south and east of Russia, for centuries the regions from which jacqueries had sprung. |
| Both risings were put down later in the summer, the royal forces being augmented by foreign mercenaries gathered for war against the Scots. |
| The recent appearance of lines under my eyes confirm the toll of early risings and long days. |
| In 1905 itself it was not so much the urban disorders as the peasant risings which most alarmed the government. |
