'''Avram Iancu''' ({{IPA|ro|aˈvram ˈjaŋku|lang}}; {{langx|hu|Janku Ábrahám}}; 1824 – September 10, 1872) was a [[Transylvania]]n Romanian [[lawyer]] who played an important role in the local chapter of the [[Revolutions of 1848 in the Austrian Empire|Austrian Empire Revolutions]] of 1848–1849. He was especially active in the [[Țara Moților]] region and the [[Apuseni Mountains]]. The rallying of peasants around him, as well as the allegiance he paid to the [[House of Habsburg|Habsburg]] monarchy, earned him the moniker ''Crăișorul Munților'' ("The Prince of the Mountains").<ref name="ReferenceA">Ion Ranca, Valeriu Nițu, ''Avram Iancu: documente și bibliografie'', Bucharest, Editura Științifică, 1974 (most contemporary documents about Avram Iancu, including his report to Wohlgemuth)</ref>
