Murder of the four kings at Paide
The rebels of Harjumaa chose four 'kings' to lead them. On 4 May 1343 the kings came to the Livonian Order's castle at Paide (Weissenstein) to negotiate with Master Burchard von Dreileben, hoping for help against the Danes and the Order. Talks broke down and the four kings and their squires were cut down in the castle courtyard. Left leaderless, the rebel army was soon defeated near Tallinn. The rebuilt octagonal tower, Vallitorn, stands on Paide castle hill.

Harjumaa mässulised valisid endale juhtideks neli kuningat. 4. mail 1343 tulid kuningad Liivi ordu Paide linnusesse läbirääkimistele ordumeister Burchard von Dreilebeniga. Läbirääkimised katkesid ning neli kuningat ja nende kannupoisid raiuti linnuse õuel maha. Juhtideta jäänud mässuliste vägi purustati peagi Tallinna all. Paide vallimäel seisab taastatud kaheksanurkne Vallitorn.
