Following the passage of a new law which planned to cut the number of men working as an undertaker's man from 300 to 72, the aanspreker (undertakers) spread rumors around the city that, due tothese proposed changes, the city's poor would no longer be able to expect proper burials. The ensuing riot grew from just the poor to the city's sailors as well, with unruly crowds attacking thehomes of the various civic leaders. The riot was eventually quelled, but only after a number of deaths among the city's elite.
