Note: There are probably OCR errors that I can't catch since I am not a French speaker.  This is a translation of a book written in 1620 in Latin.  Also this is in a 1734 version of French.  There appears to be an English translation but I can't find online the volume that contains 1566.

This is an interesting letter showing the character and mindset of Nikola Zrinski. It seems that Zrinski truly had a love for his nation and was willing to fight for it and if required become a martyr.

There is a great song about Nikola Zrinski' final charge against the Ottoman besiegers of the Fortress of Szigetvar.  From the Croatian opera "Nikola Subic Zrinski.  There are a few translations into English but none of the translations are very good - that is communicate the heart of the message in an eloquent way.
