		Whatever the exact circumstances of his sojourn in Prague, it is nevertheless evident that Bocskai played no active role in Sigismund’s two restorations to office in 1601-02 (he abdicated again on both occasions), in Basta’s murder of Michael the Brave, or in the vain rebellion of the Transylvanian nobility against Basta’s army in 1601.
