The revolt of Horea, Cloșca, and Crișan (Romanian: Răscoala lui Horea, Cloșca și Crișan; 31 October – 14 December, 1784) was a Romanian-led revolt that began in the Metaliferi Mountains, Transylvania, but it soon spread throughout all Transylvania and the Apuseni Mountains. The leaders were Horea (Vasile Ursu Nicola, 1731–1785), Cloșca (Ion Oarga, 1747–1785) and Crișan (Marcu Giurgiu, 1733–1785).
