He is the best-known Hungarian highwayman; his life inspired numerous writers, notably Zsigmond Móricz and Gyula Krúdy.

Rózsa, like Jóska Sobri, is one of the most famous Hungarian betyárs (bandits). Biography It was at the age of 23 (1836) when he first was sent to jail in Szeged. After escaping he chose the life of a highwayman and a number of bloody and infamous acts made his name well-known. In October 1848 on behalf of the Committee of Defence (''Honvédelmi Bizottmány''), he joined the Hungarian Revolution of 1848 with his company of 150. With their strange appearance and method of fighting they had success but because of their lack of discipline they were disbanded. ...
