Keywords:

In the late 16th century Turkish raids to Carniola and Styria gradually ceased. A quite different destiny, however, was in store for the far north-eastern part of the Slovene ethnic territory - the Prekmurje region-which from the mid-l6lh century onwards, found itself at the hub of political, cultural, social, and economic changes. After the battle of Mohács (1526), the region first experienced changes in its land estates administration (Murska Sobota and Gornja Lendava), and from the turn of the century onwards the greater part of the Prekmurje region had to pay Turkish tax. Besides this, religious conflicts (i.e. the quarrel between the Catholics, Lutherans and Calvinists) had also spread dissension amongst the region's landlords (the Szecsi, Battyány and Szápáry families) and their subjects.
