Tamás Erdődy

For this victory Erdődy received congratulations from Pope Clement VIII and was knighted into the Order of Saint Saviour by Philip II of Spain.

The phrase "In deo vici" (English: In god I have won) is attributed to him following the victory in Sisak.

[2] Meanwhile, he was also perpetual count of Varaždin County since 1607, which position became hereditary since then, given to the Erdődy family.

[6] Following that, Erdődy was made master of the treasury, holding the office until his death on 17 January 1624.

During his lifetime he ran for the position of Palatine of Hungary twice (1596, 1611), but the Protestant estates prevented his election referring to his "religious intolerance".
