The Royal Life Guards' Mutiny (Danish: Den kongelige livgardes Mytteri) also known as the Christmas Eve Feud (Danish: Julefejden) was an open revolt by the Danish Royal Life Guards against the decision of royal adviser, Johann Friedrich Struensee, to abolish the life guards in order to reform the Danish military.
