The War in Gotland (1313), also known as the Tax war against the Gutes, was a short lived conflict fought between the forces of the Swedish King Birger, and the people of Gotland. The primary cause of the war was the high taxes imposed by Sweden on Gotland, which fueled anger and later resulted in the Gotlanders refusing to pay taxes.
