Nikola Šubić Zrinski or Miklós Zrínyi, (1508-1566), Croatian and Hungarian hero, member of the Zrinski noble family.
Nikola was the son of NikolaZrinski and Ilona Karlović.
He distinguished himself at the siege of Vienna in 1529, and in 1542 saved the imperial army from defeat before Pest by intervening with 400 Croats, for which service he was appointed ban of Croatia.
In his opera "Zrinski" Zajc has made use of tonal colouring derived from Croatian folk melodies (for example Jelena's subtle lullaby "The Red Rose Blossoms" and a melody from Podsused "The Magpie has a long Tail and Mottled Plumage"), ecstatic pathos (e.g.
Zrinski's and Eva's duet "On Wings of Glory") as well as the crowning monumentality (the "Oath" of the town defenders).
Zajc himself considered "Zrinski" to be a worthy achievement and befitting for staging abroad; his wish was granted a year before his death with "Zrinski's" performance in Prague (1913).
NikolaZrinski wrote in his time a very important book of lyrics and an epic in 15 cantos entitled "The Syren of the Adriatic" (Adriai tengernek syrenaia), an epic using the Hungarian language as a vehicle of expression, but whose inspiration is drawn from the Croatian soul.
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.
For Petar Zrinski the verdict was read that "he committed the greatest sins than the others in aspiring to obtain the same station as his majesty, that is, to be an independent Croatian ruler and therefore he indeed deserves to be crowned not with a crown, but with a bloody sword".
Nikola Šubić Zrinski or Miklós Zrínyi (1508 – 1566), was a Croatian-Hungarian soldier in service of Habsburg Monarchy, and member of the Zrinski noble family.

Zrinski re-entered the public eye in 2006, after the Hungarian government started a contest to name a new bridge over the Danube, where the leading vote getter would be the bridge's namesake.

Ban Petar Zrinski, his wife Katarina nee Frankopan and her younger brother Fran Krsto Frankopan were the central figures of Ozalj’s cultural life of the mid-seventeenth century.
The rebellion and death of Zrinski and Frankopan had a considerable impact on Croatian and European political circumstances because those two noble families were related to prominent aristocrats throughout Europe.
The reconstruction and expansion of the old-town Ozalj was begun in the mideighteenth century by Franjo Perlas, son of the Spanish marquis Don Ramon de Villama Perlas Rialpa, who rebuilt the medieval burg as a baroque palace.
The eldest portion of today's Ozalj castle is the Zrinski Palace, constructed by the NIKOLASUBICZRINSKI (1508-1566), ten years before his heroic death defending the fortress at Szigetvar in southern Hungary.
FRAN KRSTO FRANKOPAN (1643-1671), a comrade-in-arms of Petar Zrinski in his battles against the Ottomans, joined the latter in his resistance to the Austrian emperor, and they were executed together.
The eldest lords of Ozalj were tied to the northernmost traces of the Glagolites on Croatian soil.
Investigation that ensued resulted in a short indictment and practically no proof: the only murder that they were charged with was that of Aleksandar Sasa Antic, while other counts of the indictment related to the "illegal depravation of liberty" and "illegal acquisition of property".
The indictment definitely went up in smoke when Branko Velagic and Nikola Peles, taxi drivers from Kutina, appeared before the panel of judges as key witnesses to Antic's murder, i.e.
His words delivered from the Parliament's balcony met with the approval of all kinds of associations created during the Patriotic War, while Zvonimir Trusic, one of the wardens of death camps in the Pakrac Valley directs their reactions.
