Battle of Una

[4] That same year Ottoman forces from the Sanjak of Bosnia led by Ajaz-beg plundered Carniola, while in 1483 they ravaged the surroundings of Ptuj in Lower Styria.

[5] In early October 1483 Sultan Bayazid II sent a large Ottoman force of around 7,000 Akinji, led by Harsi Pasha and Sarayli Hasan, that crossed the Una and Sava rivers and broke into Croatia.

Upon hearing of a large army trailing them, the Ottomans tried to evade a fight and reach the Bosnian Sanjak without confronting the enemies.

[7] Then they attempted negotiations with Croatian nobles to let them back - under conditions that they release Christian captives and pay 1 Forint for each Ottoman horseman.

[1] The King sent a special letter of gratitude to Ban Matthias Geréb and the Croatian nobles and informed Pope Sixtus IV about the victory on 6 November.

[3] Shortly after the battle a 7-year truce was signed with Sultan Bayezid II that lasted until the death of King Matthias Corvinus in 1490.

[8] The Ottoman Sultan Bayazid II used this truce to strengthen his rule and prepare fresh forces for new conquests and the expansion of his Empire westward, that continued in 1490.
