Grigor pintya (Pyntya the Brave) was born in the Romanian village of Megoazh on February 25, 1670. He came from a noble Romanian family. Even in his younger years, he opposed the Austrian rule. He had an excellent education, spoke several languages, traveled all over Europe, and served as an Austrian soldier. What exactly was the reason that the Transcarpathian Robin hood left the army and moved to looting is unknown. Apparently, this happened because of conflicts with local lords.
