Juraj Jánosík

The infamous bandit Juraj Jánosík and his group have been terrorizing the nobles and burghers of Upper Hungary. Their audacious raids have caused a great deal of distress and disruption, and it seems to be nearly impossible to track him and his group down since they share a portion of their loot with local peasants who then in turn protect them from the authorities. He is slowly becoming a hero of the local Slovak folk, and his group is rapidly growing in size, as many, even from Poland and Moravia, are joining his ranks. The estates, unable to handle the situation on their own, have come to us with complaints and pleas for aid. They are requesting the Crown's intervention to track down Jánosík and bring him to justice.
