!!!Magnatenverschwörung

Magnates´ Conspiracy. Dissatisfied with the Peace Treaty of 
Vasvar concluded by Emperor Leopold I and the Turkish sultan on August 
10, 1664, Hungarian nobles entered into a conspiracy against the 
Emperor, which was revealed in 1670. As a consequence the Austrian 
government had four of the ringleaders - Magnate Count Peter Zrinyi 
(Banus of Croatia), Franz Christoph Frangipani (margrave of Istria), 
Count Franz Nádasdy and the Styrian Count H. E. v.  
Tattenbach arrested; they were sentenced to death on April 23 and 25, 
1671; executions took place on April 30 in Vienna and Wiener Neustadt 
and on December 1 in Graz (Tattenbach). This severe punishment and the 
outbreak of the  Counter-Reformation in Hungary fuelled 
dissatisfaction and eventually led to a rising of the Kuruc rebels, 
the ( Kuruc Invasions) and the great  Turkish Wars (1683-1699).
