Ioan Axente Sever

Ioan Axente Sever (born Ioan Axente; 1821–1906) was a Romanian revolutionary in Austria-Hungary who participated in the Transylvanian Revolution of 1848. Born in Frâua (called Axente Sever since 1931), he studied theology and philosophy in Blaj. He was in Bucharest when the Wallachian Revolution broke out, later returning to Transylvania to participate in the Blaj Assemblies. He then followed Avram Iancu to fight in the mountains. He then led the attacks on ethnic hungarians in the town of Aiud, massacring over 600 people. In later years, he was part of the ASTRA leadership in Sibiu.[1]

For his birthplace, see Axente Sever, Sibiu.
