A few years after the Revolution of 1821, the newly established Greek state, under the reign of the Bavarian Othon, brought to trial the great leaders of the struggle, Theodoros Kolokotronis and Georgios Plapoutas, on the charge of high treason. This infamous trial of 1833, which took place in Nafplio, shocked the nation, because everyone knew that the two heroes were completely innocent. The president of the court Athanasios Polyzoidis and the judge Georgios Tercetis refuse to sign the death sentence of the accused as dictated by the palace – through the three viceroys Armansberg, Mauer and Eidek. The Bavarians order the Minister of Justice to intervene, and he indicts them, whereupon they are dragged to the dungeons of the prisons and tried for high treason.
