The revolt against Otto I in 953 was led by his son, Liudolf, the duke of Swabia.1

Liudolf was joined in this rebellion by two other prominent figures:
* Conrad the Red of Lotharingia
* Frederick, the archbishop of Mainz1

Liudolf initiated the uprising due to concerns that his inheritance rights were being threatened by his father's second marriage to Adelaide of Burgundy and the growing influence of his uncle, Henry, duke of Bavaria. Although Liudolf initially secured concessions from Otto I, the conflict resumed when those terms were repudiated, leading Liudolf to seize the city of Regensburg and align himself with Magyar invaders. The rebellion eventually collapsed in 955 after Liudolf was deserted by his allies and chose to reconcile with his father.1
