Years: 1670 - 1670
Péter Zrínyi finally receives some encouragement from the sultan in 1670 and prepares to march into Styria.
Rákóczi, believing rumors that a formal alliance has been concluded, also assembles his forces and arrests Count Rüdiger von Starhemberg, the imperial commander in the northern Hungarian city of Tokay.
The Turks' chief interpreter, however, has revealed the plot to Habsburg officials in Vienna.
Imperial troops rescue Starhemberg and easily disperse the rebels.
