About the battle
During the siege of Nagykanizsa (Turkish: Kanije Savunması, lit. 'The Defence of Kanizsa') in 1601, a small Ottoman force held the fortress of Naģykanizsa in western Hungary against a much larger coalition army of the Habsburg monarchy, while inflicting heavy losses on its besiegers.
This battle was part of the Long War between the Ottoman Empire and the House of Habsburg, lasting from 1593 to 1606.
