Sigismund Báthory

Sigismund Báthory
Sigismund Báthory
  • ... that Sigismund Báthory, Prince of Transylvania (pictured), promised the Székely commoners to restore their freedom if they joined his campaign against the Ottomans? Source: "Zsigmond therefore called on the Székelys, who had been driven into servitude some twenty-five years earlier. ... Báthori must have felt vindicated in making this risky concession when, a few days after the formal document was issued, an additional 8,000 Székelys arrived at the camp. The commander-in-chief, Bocskai, soon issued an order to march, and in October an army of close to 40,000 men crossed the border near Brassó to link up with Voivode Michael. On October 18, they recaptured Tîrgovişte from the Ottomans." ([1])
