Ivan Mazepa
Mazepa, Ivan (1640?–1709), Cossack chief who vainly aided Charles XII of Sweden against Peter the Great, hoping to win independence for his native Ukraine. Byron's Mazeppa immortalizes a youthful incident in which he is said to have been tied to a wild horse by a jealous Polish nobleman.
