Uncas

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

Uncas (c. 1606–c. 1682)

Pequot/Mohegan leader. He led rebellions against his father-in-law, Sassacus, the Pequot leader, eventually taking over part of the Pequot lands and ruling its people under their new tribal name, the Mohegans. He maintained power throughout much of his life with the help of the English colonists, whom he supported in the Pequot War (1636–37) and King Philip's War (1675–76). Uncas was born in present-day Connecticut.
