THOKdLY, IMRE (EIIERICH), PRINCE (1657-1705), Hungarian statesman, was born at Kesmark on the 25th of See also:September 1657. He lost both parents while still a See also:child. In 1670,fleeing from the dangers of Upper See also:Hungary, where the Protestants and Imperialists were constantly in arms against each other, he took See also:refuge with his kinsman See also:Michael Teleki, the See also:chief See also:minister of Michael Apafy, prince of Transylvania. Here he came into contact with the Magyar refugees, who had great hopes of the high-born, high-gifted youth who was also a See also:fellow sufferer, a large portion of his immense estates having been confiscated by the See also:emperor. The discontent reached its height when See also:Leopold (Feb. 27, 1673) suspended the Hungarian constitution, appointed Johan Gaspar Ampringen See also:dictator, deprived 450 See also:Protestant See also:clergy of their livings and condemned 67 more to the galleys. Encouraged by promises of help from See also:- LOUIS

Upper Hungary and the See also:mining towns were soon in Thokoly's See also:possession. In 1681, reinforced by 1o,00o Transylvanians and a See also:Turkish See also:army under the See also:pasha of Nagyvarad, he compelled the emperor to See also:- GRANT (from A.-Fr. graunter, O.

grant an See also:armistice. On the 15th of See also:June 1682 he married See also:Helen See also:Zrinyi, the widow of Prince See also:Francis Rak6czy I. Thokoly's distrust of the emperor now induced him to turn for help to the See also:sultan, who recognized him as prince of. Upper Hungary on See also:condition that he paid an anuual See also:tribute of 40,000 florins. In the course of the same year Thokoly captured fortress after fortress from the emperor and extended his dominions to the Waag. He refused, however, the See also:title of See also:- KING

king offered to him by the See also:Turks. At the two Diets held by him, at Kassa and Talya, in 1683, the estates, though not uninfluenced by his See also:personal See also:charm, showed some want of confidence in him, fearing lest he might See also:sacrifice the See also:national See also:independence to the Turkish See also:alliance. They refused therefore to grant him either subsidies or a See also:levee en masse, and he had to take what he wanted by force. Thokoly materially assisted the Turks in the See also:Vienna See also:campaign of 1683, and shared the See also:fate of the gigantic Turkish army. The See also:grand See also:vizier nevertheless laid the blame of the failure on Thokoly, who thereupon hastened to See also:Adrianople to defend himself before the sultan. Shortly afterwards, perceiving that the Turkish cause was now lost, he sought the See also:mediation of Sobieski to reconcile him with the emperor, offering to See also:lay down his arms if Leopold would confirm the religious rights of the Magyar Protestants and grant him, Thokoly, the thirteen See also:north-eastern counties of Hungary with the title of prince. Leopold refused these terms and demanded an unconditional surrender. Thokoly then renewed the war. But the campaign of 1685 was a See also:series of disasters, and when he sought help from the Turks at Nagyvarad they seized and sent him in chains to See also:Belgrade, possibly because of his previous negotiations with Leopold, whereupon most of his followers made their See also:peace with the emperor. In 1686 Thokoly was released from his See also:dungeon and sent with a small army into Transylvania, but both this expedition and a similar one in 1688 ended in failure. The Turks then again See also:grew suspicious of him and imprisoned him a second time. In 169o, however, the Turks despatched him into Transylvania a third time with 16,000 men, and in September he routed the See also:united forces of General Heister and Michael Teleki at Zernest. After this great victory Thokoly was elected prince of Transylvania by the Keresztenymez See also:Diet, but could only maintain his position against the imperial armies with the utmost difficulty. In 1691 he quitted Transylvania altogether. He led the Turkish See also:cavalry at the See also:battle of Slankamen, and in fact served valiantly but vainly against See also:Austria during the See also:remainder of the war, especially distinguishing himself at See also:Zenta. He was excluded by name from the See also:amnesty promised to the Hungarian rebels by the peace of See also:Karlowitz (See also:Jan. 26, 1699). After one more unsuccessful See also:attempt, in 1700, to recover his principality, he settled down at Galata with his wife. From the sultan he received large estates and the title of See also:count of Widdin. He was buried in the great Armenian See also:cemetery at See also:Nicomedia, but in the course of 1906 his See also:relics were transferred to Hungary.,
