%X In this paper, I argue that the primary goal of the three-book Historia de bello Pannonico by the Transylvanian Saxon author Christian Schesaeus (1535?–1585) published in Wittenberg in 1571 was not to give an account of the last campaign of Suleiman the Great focusing on the famous sieges of Gyula and Szigetvár, as it purports, but to create a (possibly counter-) narrative favorable to John II, the last member of the Szapolyai dynasty. Schesaeus tells the events from a Szapolyai-friendly point of view concentrating on the meeting between John and Suleiman and portraying Maximilian II as responsible for Suleiman’s 1566 campaign and its disastrous outcome for the Kingdom of Hungary.
