Petru Muha

Petru Muha (fl. 1490) was a Wallachian rebel and military leader, best known as the leader of the eponymous Muha Rebellion against Polish magnates and noblemen in Galicia started with Moldavian support. This uprising was one of the largest of the 15th and 16th century in the area, together with Severyn Nalyvaiko's. This rebellion was mentioned by Jan of Targowisk:

Biography Between 1490 and 1492 he led an army of 10,000 people, both Ukrainians and Moldavians, as well as some other people and Orthodox petty nobles, in an attempt to overthrow the Polish in Galicia. Muha had support from Stephen the Great, the Moldavian voivode of the time. The revolt erupted in Pokuttia, quickly spreading to other parts of Galicia. The rebellious army proceeded through the territory, taking the cities of Halych, Sniatyn, and Kolomyia.

Muha was captured near Kolomyia, and died in the dungeons of a prison in Kraków.

In popular culture Volodymyr Hrabovetsky wrote a book about Muha's rebellion, which was published in Kyiv in 1979.
