Sažetak
Based on historiographic results and sources, the paper presents selected aspects of life and work of Nikola VII Zrinski (Čakovec, 3rd May 1620 – the Otok forest near Kuršanec, 18 November 1664). Included are however only the most essential information regarding his literary achievements and estates. The paper offers information relating to Zrinski’s birth, childhood, education, family situation, as well as military and political career. During his career, he held the positions of: Hungarian royal groom (1628–1664); hereditary captain of Legrad and the entire region of Međimurje (1640–1664); imperial chamberlain (1637–1664); Croatian-Slavonian-Dalmatian ban (1647–1664); district prefect of Szalad and Somogy (1646–1664); and privy councillor (1659–1664); as well as leader of resistance against the Viennese absolutism. The text further tackles selected tributes to culture; links with the church; and the death of Nikola VII Zrinski; as well as identity issues. Enclosed are 20 selected letters by Nikola VII Zrinski, written between 1642 and 1664. Zrinski wrote one of these letters in the Croatian language, whilst 19 were for the first time translated into Croatian. The record of the conclusion of alliance of Wesselényi, Nádasdy and Nikola VII Zrinski, dated early autumn of 1663, which had earlier been considered the record of the alliance of Petar Zrinski, Wesselényi and Nádasdy; a part of Nikola Zrinski’s argumentation relating to his quarrel with Montecuccoli, commander of the imperial army, with regard to Novi Zrin of 1664; and Nikola Zrinski’s memorandum to the Emperor and King Leopold of 1664 were translated into Croatian as well.
