Nikola and Petar had already divided their properties in 1638, whilst keeping the Vinodol area and the towns on the coast as their common goods, together with Cabar and the Brod estates.

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.
Nikola Zrinski 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.

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).

Zrinjevac, or Nikola Šubić Zrinski Square, Zagreb's best-known public garden, is a romantic promenade and a recurring motif in the works of photographers, painters and poets.
But until the second half of the 19th century, it was just ordinary pasture owned by St. Mark's Parish, and later a plough field and cornfield of Sirkovica, as this suburban area was called at the beginning of the 19th century.
It was only in 1866 that the square was named after the Croatian viceroy, Zrinski, who lost his life in 1566 defending the town of Siget with 2,500 brave soldiers against the Turkish invaders.
