Raimundo Gomes Vieira Jatahy (fl. 1830s) was an important Brazilian leader of the Balaiada.[1] He was a vaqueiro who administered the plantation of Padre Inácio Mendes (a liberal, or bem-te-vi). The imprisonment of his brother, and Gomes' and their fathers freeing of said brother, was one of the catalysts that led to the Balaiada.
