mutinied
Defied the captain
Mutinied is the past tense of mutiny—to rebel against authority, especially by soldiers or sailors against their commanders.
A crew that mutinied refused to follow orders, typically seizing control of their ship: The sailors mutinied and set the captain adrift.
The word extends to any organized refusal to obey: The whole department mutinied against the new policy.
