Sažetak
This paper aims to reconstruct the “saga” about the Ottoman attempt to “recruit” Nikola Šubić Zrinski during 1553/1554, in broken up fragments in spy
letters from Antun Vrančić in Constantinople and to put it in a possible historical context. While King Ferdinand was not aware of the attempt to “recruit”
Zrinski, certain facts point to Zrinski’s distancing from the king. After April 15, 1554 when the king knew that the attempt to “recruit” Zrinski was ongoing,
certain facts point to the king and Zrinski getting closer again, and perhaps the “saga” is the cause of the king’s policy of concessions towards Zrinski.
