The Battle of Sisak (Croatian: Bitka kod Siska; Slovene: Bitka pri Sisku; German: Schlacht bei Sissek, or Sisak; Turkish: Kulpa Bozgunu) was fought on June 22, 1593, between Ottoman Bosna regional forces of the Bosnian governor-general, or Beylerbeyi, Hasan-paša Predojević, a notable Bosniak commander of Bosnia Eyalet and forces of the Holy Roman Empire under the supreme command of the Styrian general Ruprecht von Eggenberg. The Croatian troops were led by the Ban of Croatia, Tamás Erdődy, and major forces from the Duchy of Carniola and the Duchy of Carinthia were led by Andreas von Auersperg (Slovene: Andrej Turjaški), nicknamed the "Carniolian Achilles". The battle took place at Sisek, now central Croatia, at the confluence of the rivers Sava and Kupa and resulted in a crushing defeat for the regional Ottoman forces thus triggering the Long War.
