Despite getting the ‘’Braveheart’’ treatment by some Ukrainian nationalists, for most of his life Bohdan Khmelnytsky served as a ''registered Cossack'' in the Polish army rising through the ranks and took no part in Cossack uprising prior to the one he himself led.
His reasons for his abrupt revolt seem to be a personal grudge his estate was seized by a Polish nobleman and one of his sons along with the woman he intended to marry were killed. Khmelnytsky initially tried to take his grievance to court but was unsuccessful. This essentially started him good the road to rebellion,
