In a renewed Turkish offensive in Europe, renegade Hungarian Count Imre Thokoly was sent to invade Transylvania. At Zernyest (modern Zarnesti) Thokoly defeated a Habsburg-Transylvanian army and the Turks made him Prince. However, he and Grand Vizier Fazil Mustafa were defeated a year later at Slankamen and Transylvania was secured by the Habsburgs.
