WikiProject Middle Ages To do:

This article is severely biased. Stating that the revolters were a "group of Romanian peasants" is historically incorrect. As it stands, this article is just repeating the position of Ceausescu-era Romanian historiography. When I have time, I will write a more detailed account of the revolt.

To be more specific about inaccuracies:

- the revolt did not start at Bobâlna

- it was not a group consisting only of Romanian peasants who revolted. The revolt was led by a Hungarian petty noble, three Hungarian peasants, a Romanian peasant and a burgher. Those revolting included both Romanian and Hungarian serfs, as well as burghers.

- The Unio Trium Nationum was not signed just by nobles (the nobles were just one of three Estates in the Union).

I agree wholeheartedly. In addition, it should not be called "Bobâlna revolt"--the name in common use at the time was "Bábolna", with the Romanian form only becoming official after Trianon. I strongly suggest correcting the name.4.231.162.235 08:13, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Budai Nagy Antal Revolt or Bobalna Revolt?

This was the first major peasant revolt in the history of Hungary. The revolt is called "Budai Nagy Antal Revolt" by Hungarians and "Bobalna Revolt" by Romanians. Google search gave

  • 861 pages for: Bobâlna revolt (many of these are copies of this very article)
  • 1640 pages for:"Budai Nagy Antal" revolt
  • 538 pages for: Răscoala de la Bobâlna
  • 1340 pages for: "Budai Nagy Antal" felkelés

I suggest that the article is renamed accordingly. --KIDB 14:11, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
