Theodoros Kolokotronis - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodoros_KolokotronisThis dude liberated Nafplio (from the Ottoman Empire) and then was imprisoned in Palamidi Fortress *in the city he liberated* (and now the capital of Greece, for a while) for being a traitor by the new (and 17-year-old) Bavarian King Otto of Greece! Shit sucks.
To be clear, he was extremely anti-Bavaria and a proponent of an independent Greece. He was only freed due to public outcry.
What a life.
