History

Avram Iancu (1824-1872) was a Transylvanian Vlach lawyer and leader of the Vlach uprising in Transylvania against the Hungarian Revolution and War of Independence in 1848-49. They supported the Habsburg oppressors. His troops massacred thousands of Hungarian civilians, wiping out entire villages, taking advantage of the fact that the Hungarian soldiers were busy liberating Transylvania from Austrian rule.
