## Commentary

In 1566, in the Battle of Szigetvár a vastly outnumbered Croatian-Hungarian army tried to resist a Turkish invasion. The battle concluded when Captain Miklós Zrínyi&#39;s forces, having been greatly depleted, left the fortress walls in a famous onslaught. Approximately four hundred troops forayed into the Turkish camp. Zrínyi killed Sultan Suleiman I, before being gunned down by janissaries.
