Farm implements and sharpened sticks are as to weapons as a super soaker is to a rifle. They are called "improvised" weapons for a reason. No one can simply outlaw anything that could ever be used as a weapon, because everything would be illegal. Swords, pikes, ACTUAL weapons were illegal for the peasantry to own unless they were actually serving in a capacity where they needed them such as being in the town guard.
Losing a title due to war or being convicted of an offense such as treason is ENTIRELY different than an unruly peasant mob lead by a priest with no legal authority forcing someone from their estate. People do not defy Kings all the time, and those who do usually lead short lives.
It stands simply that a priest conducting an auto da fae is violating a very principle law. Kings and Dukes give titles, no one else does. Titles aren't arbitrary things that come and go, and the only means to remove one is by force. When a priest forces a noble from his post, his is openly defying Kingly or Duchal authority, and would be arrested on the spot.
Kings... by their divine right? Granted by God? Represented on earth by his priests?
As for defying feudal authority... what on earth is a takeover, if not that?
And soldiers, who are they? When Britain went to war, they had a whole lot of peasants in their forces. Military equipment, back in the ages, was quite often farming tools modified for warfare.
This isn't some peasant revolt that wants self-rule. This is a high-noble (royal) elder priest using the authority vested in him by the Church to expel a non-believer.
