"In an unexpected twist, the uneducated 'rapscallions' are actually quite clever and successfully outwit the townspeople."

This is situational irony: readers (and the townspeople) expect the rowdy, untrustworthy "rapscallions" (the King and the Duke) to be inept or easily exposed, but instead they convincingly pose as the Wilks brothers and fool the town, reversing the expected outcome.
