 | | Other important moments in the history of the town are the years 1571 (the reign of Stefan Bathory), 1600 (the reign of Mihai Viteazu) and after Transilvania joined the Habsburgic Empire- when the town was marked by an economic decadence. |
 | | After Mihai Viteazu's victory in Guraslau, the town regained the real autonomy that offered its citizens administrative, fiscal and military laws. |
 | | A chronicle from the XVII-th century writes down for the first time the trades of the Zalau inhabitants: strap makers, potters, wheelwrights, shoemakers, tailors, flsmiths, carpenters, hat makers and not at least, armourers. |
