  CROATIAN PORTRAITS: PETAR ZRINSKI AND FRAN KRSTO FRANKOPAN
Zrinski and Frankopan by marriage ties came into closer affinity until in the eyes of the European courts they had become the most important families of Croatia, finally to merge into legend with the fame of their battles against the Turks.
Zrinski and Frankopan finally realized the treacherousness of the "Christian" Leopold and the crimes of Vienna, spending their last hours awaiting their tragic fate, in complete devotion to God and in the belief that the idea of a liberated Croatia would nonetheless be realized.
Zrinski and Frankopan did not even try to answer the court in Vienna on the terms in which Vienna dealt with them, but rather wished to counteract its injustices with what was then a quite justifiable diplomacy.

 gorski kotar-zrinski
From the second half of the 16th century, the master of Gorski kotar was Stephen Frankopan of Ozalj, who signed an agreement with Nikola Zrinski in 1544 on mutual inheritance of properties.
The two remaining Frankopan families - the Frankopans of Slunj and the Frankopans of Trcak - never accepted the alienation of the Frankopansí properties based on that 1544 agreement.
Thus, whilst the coast, Istria and the islands were recovering from the past Uskok wars, the Zrinskis went ahead with their economic policy in Gorski kotar.They organised their estate well, and the lack of fertile soil was compensated by the exploitation of the natural resources, particularly the mining industry.
