From 1837-1841 the Grimm Brothers joined five of their colleague professors at the University of G?ttingen to form a group known as the G?ttingen Sieben (The G?ttingen Seven). They protested against Ernst August, King of Hanover, whom they accused of violating the constitution. All seven were fired by the king.
