450 years ago, today, one of the greatest warlords and noblemen of Europe, Nikola Subic Zrinski sacrificed himself, along with a handful of Croatian and Hungarian soldiers who have been holding the advance of a 150,000 men strong Tukish army at Szigetvar for more then a month, near the Croatian-Hungarian border. The Turks were led by Suleyman the Magnificent personally and were on their way to conquer Vienna. During the long siege of the Sziget fortress, Nikola Subic Zrinski with 3000 soldiers successfully held the Turks occupied, so that the Austrian army can prepare Vienna for the upcomming siege. Zrinski was aware that he won't have a chance beating the Turks. Under his leadership however, the Croatian forces along with Hungarian soldiers, inflicted heavy losses to the Turks and destroyed their fighting moral. During the siege, Suleyman the Magnificent died. On the 7th September, the Turks destroyed the fortification of the city, and Nikola Subic Zrinski gathered his remaining 500 men to charge the enemy on horses.
Nikola Subic Zrinski fell bravely in the attack. Soon after the battle, heavy September rain, low fighting moral, the Sultans death, as well as illness of the Turkish troops, forced the turkish generals to order a retreat. Nikola Subic Zrinski was honored by all royal courts in Europe, and gained the nickname ''The Croatian Leonidis'', and the battle at Szigetvar was called ''The battle that saved Europe''.
The heroic act and the self Sacrifice of Zrinski was monumented in the Croatian Opera ''Nikola Subic Zrinski" written by Ivan von Zajc.
PAY YOUR RESPECTS YOU CUCKS!

Zrínyi Miklós
Miklós Zrínyi or Nikola Zrinski (Hungarian: Zrínyi Miklós, Croatian: Nikola Zrinski; 5 January 1620 – 18 November 1664) was a Croatian and Hungarian military leader, statesman and poet. He was a member of the House of Zrinski (or Zrínyi), a Croatian-Hungarian[1][2][3] noble family. He is the author of the first epic poem in Hungarian literature.[4]
Miklós was born in Čakovec (Hungarian: Csáktornya), Kingdom of Hungary to the Croatian Juraj V Zrinski and the Hungarian Magdolna (Magdalena) Széchy. At the court of Péter Pázmány, he was an enthusiastic student of Hungarian language and literature, although he prioritized military training. From 1635 to 1637, he accompanied Szenkviczy, one of the canons of Esztergom, on a long educative tour through the Italian Peninsula.

..on November 18, he was killed in a hunting accident in a place called Kuršanec Grove, present-day Gornji Kuršanec near Čakovec, (Hungarian: Zrínyifalva) by a wounded wild boar. (Until this day, legend maintains that he was killed at the order of the Habsburg Court. No conclusive evidence has ever been found to support this claim; however, it remains true that the Habsburgs lost their mightiest adversary with his death.)

That was another Zrinski. The Nikola Zrinski we are talking about, died on the battlefield. His head was cut off as a trophy.
The Habsburgs (Leopold I) destroyed the house of Zrinski and Frankopan (the two biggest, influential and wealthiest Croatian noble families) in 1671.
