Today in Hungarian History:
1 September 1551 The Transdanubian armies defeat the Turks at Veszprém
In the summer of that year, in the second half of July, the Bey Velidzsán of Fehérvár had already raided the villages on the border of Zala and Veszprém counties. He returned home with a large booty of 1000 prisoners.
At the same time the Beys of Dervis of Pécs, Veli of Esztergom, and Arslan of Hatvan, under the command of Kászim of Buda (who had just been deposed but remained in his place), launched an attack on the Hungarian Borderland opposite their strongholds.
They were less successful, but in the meantime, Kászim took the castles of Gesztes and Vitány. At the end of the summer, the Turkish officers began another coordinated raid, as part of which Velidzsán (who was no longer officially the Bey of Fehérvár, as Kászim had been placed there, but remained in his place) launched an attack on 31 August 1551.
His army, breaking through between Tihany and Veszprém, reached Szentgrót, destroying most of Zala County, plundering the Pauline Monastery of Örményes, the burial place of the Kanizsai family, and uprooting the remains of Kanizsai Orsolya’s mother, Drágffy Anna.

Did the Hungarian Borderland warriors take revenge? How did the two Gentleladies, Kanizsai Orsolya and Lady Batthyány contribute to it?
