Nikola IV Zrinski (1508-1566), also known as Miklós IV Zrínyi, was a Croatian nobleman and military leader, serving as Ban of Croatia from 1542 to 1556 and as royal master of the treasury from 1557 to 1566. He hailed from the prominent Zrinski and Kurjaković families, which became the most influential noble lineage in the Kingdom of Croatia during his lifetime. Zrinski gained widespread recognition for his bravery during the Siege of Szigetvár in 1566, where he valiantly perished while halting the advance of the Ottoman Empire under Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent towards Vienna. This pivotal battle was hailed by Cardinal Richelieu as "the battle that saved civilization." Zrinski is revered as a symbol of loyalty, self-sacrifice, and Christian heroism, earning him national hero status in both Croatia and Hungary, and inspiring numerous artistic depictions.
