“The battle that saved the civilisation.” – Cardinal Richelieu, 17th century

Learn why the infamous French Cardinal made such a bold statement when referring to the historical battle that took place in Szigetvár, Hungary on September 7, 1566.

Led by Nikola Zrinski, no more than two and a half thousand soldiers, mainly Croatian, bravely defended the small fortified town against some 100,000 Ottoman troops. This graphic novel offers a detailed account of the events leading up to, during, and following the siege.

Based on an eyewitness account recorded in the 16th century, as well as many other historical sources, this story is not to be missed!
