Map of Hrizea's revolts

The rebellion of the Seimens and Home Guard or the Hrizea's revolts broke out on February 26–27, 1655, in Wallachia.

The timing of the events is controversial, but the reason is Constantin Șerban's desire to deprive himself of the services of the seimens, which Matthew Basarab relied on completely. At the beginning of the uprising, between 14 and 32 boyars were killed.[1][2]

It is an uprising of both Praetorian and ethnic origin. It is headed by Hrizea of Bogdănei - a swordsman and a foster parent. Hrizea was a bed-keeper, locksmith, and worshipper, like his mother-in-law, who was called Dragutin or Dragomir - under Matthew Basarab.[3]

The uprising was extinguished after the Battle of Hopleja on June 26, 1655.
