Executive Court of Presov

The Executive Court of Presov, also known as Caraffa's slaughter, was a political court founded in 1687 in Presov, then in the Kingdom of Hungary, by the Neapolitan count and imperial general Antonio Caraffa. It was established to punish followers of Imre Thokoly, the leader of an anti-Habsburg rebellion, and its proceedings resulted in the execution of more than twenty four Hungarians, Germans, and Slovaks. While some of those executed had taken part in the rebellion, many were innocent and had been falsely accused.
