Absztrakt (kivonat)

The study deals with the most important campaign — led by Sultan Mehmed III — of the so-called „Fifteen Years' War" or „Long War" (1593—1606) between the Ottoman and Habsburg Empires from a special point of wiew. The author of the article analizes the march of the Ottoman army in Hungary with the help of contemporary sources; Turkish (chronicles of Pecevi and Kjatib. Celebi), English (Barton's letters and Glover's memoirs), „Imperial" (memoirs of the prisoners in the Ottoman camp) and Hungarian (Istvánffy etc.) descriptions, works. The Sultan set out from Istanbul on June 20th, 1596, and arrived in Belgrade on August 9th. Including Belgrade the Ottoman troops stopped at five Hungarian settlements and towns: Belgrade (Aug. 9—20.), Szalankemen (cca. Aug. 24.), Petervarad (cca. Aug. 25—30.), Szeged (Sept. 6—9.) and Szolnok (cca. Sept. 15 — 16.). They reached their final destination, the fort of Eger (Sept. 20—21.), which they occupied after 3 weeks' siege (Oct. 13.), then they defeated the allied Imperial and Transylvanian army in the battle of Mezőkeresztes (Oct. 26.). The Ottoman army — generally using the route along the River Danube — chose this time a different, unusual way going along the River Tisza (from Szeged to Szolnok), but the administration of food and supplies caused no great problem. Due to former wintering and Tartar raids a lot of settlements perished in this region, recorded mainly by the English eyewitnesses, who were rather shocked by the decay.
