Dragos Ionuț (12 April | Dragos Ionuț (12 April 1478 – 23 November 1521) was a Wallachian social organizer, ideological leader, and founder of the House of Ionuț. Born into abandonment and raised by the church, he became a vocal opponent of hereditary privilege and noble dominance in late medieval Wallachia. He is regarded as the earliest ideological founder of the group later known as the Bucharest Butchers, which originated as an anti-elitist resistance network before transforming centuries later into an elitist criminal organization. | ||
