Karposh's rebellion

Karposh's rebellion or Karposh's uprising was a Christian anti-Ottoman uprising in the Central Balkans that took place in October 1689 during the Great Turkish War of 1683–1699. The nickname Karposh probably derives from the Paleo-Balkan term karpa 'tuff (rock), limestone'. The leader of the rebellion, was born in the Sanjak of Üsküp in the then Rumelia Eyalet of the Ottoman Empire, probably in the village of Vojnik, and named Petar. At a very young age, he escaped to Wallachia, where he worked as a miner. Later, Karposh moved to the Rhodope Mountains, where he settled in the Dospat valley, becoming a notorious hajduk. After the army of the Holy Roman Empire advanced into the Ottoman Balkans, Karposh moved to the area of Znepole, and began to organise anti-Ottoman resistance-detachments there.
