Mitropetrovas

Mitros Petrovas or Mitropetrovas (Greek: Μήτρος Πέτροβας, Μητροπέτροβας; 1745 – 12 March 1838) was a military leader of the Greek War of Independence from Messenia and one of the leaders of the anti-government riots during the Bavarian regency of Greece.

Biographical information

He was born in 1745 in

Hydra Island. Soon after his release in May 1825, he became a general and took part in the operations against Ibrahim Pasha of Egypt.^[1]

After the Revolution ended and Greek state was created, Mitropetrovas participated in 1834, after the trial and conviction of Kolokotronis for treason, in rebellions against the Bavarian regency in Mani (in June) and in Messenia (in August). After the suppression of the uprisings, he was arrested and convicted to death, but the sentence was not executed because of his advanced age and his contribution during the Greek Revolution. After remaining for some time in prison, he was given amnesty and then he returned to his home town, where he died in 1838.^[1]
