Petar Parchevich, a Bulgarian Catholic bishop and diplomat, had campaigned for Bulgarian independence in 1630-45.

Wallachia’s prince Matei Basarab sends messengers to Chirovitsi to promise Parchevich and his co-conspirators a 20,000-strong army to support the anti-Ottoman uprising planned by the Bulgarian Catholic notables.

However, King Wladyslaw IV Vasa of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, who shares with the Ottomans joint suzerainty over Moldavia and Wallachia, dies on May 20, 1648 and the notables call off the revolt.
