		Two campaigns of wearing marches, and still more exhausting sieges ensued, in which Báthory, although repeatedly hampered by the parsimony of the Diet, was uniformly successful, his skilful diplomacy at the same time allaying the suspicions of the Porte and the emperor.

		Having secured the Transylvanian succession for his brother Christopher, Stephen hurried to Kraków and was crowned on May 1, 1576, but could not totally pacify the country until the end of 1577, when he subdued Gdansk.
		Though personally tolerant of differing religious views, Stephen, a strong-willed man and a Roman Catholic, encountered considerable resistance from his subjects in his attempts to promote the Counter-Reformation and to strengthen his royal power; but he did not allow his domestic difficulties to prevent his ambitious foreign adventures.
