1678 – 1687Thököly's kuruc state, and the scaffold at PrešovTököliho kurucký štát a popravisko v Prešove
SlovakiaSlovensko
The rebels were called kuruc, and from 1678 they had a leader with a plan: Imre Thököly, who by 1682 held some thirteen counties of Upper Hungary — most of today's Slovakia — as an Ottoman vassal; the sultan's charter called him king of Upper Hungary, though he himself used the title prince. In July 1683, with the Ottoman army marching on Vienna, even Pressburg opened its gates to him. Vienna held, his state fell apart with the Ottoman defeat, and in October 1685 the Ottomans arrested him themselves. The reckoning came at Prešov in 1687, where General Antonio Caraffa set up a tribunal, had twenty-four burghers and noblemen condemned and executed on a scaffold in the town between March and September, and their bodies displayed along the roads out of it; Slovak remembers this as the prešovské jatky, the Prešov butchery, and the building where the prisoners were held is the city gallery today.Povstalcom sa hovorilo kuruci a od roku 1678 mali vodcu s plánom: Imricha Tököliho. Roku 1682 už ako osmanský vazal ovládal asi trinásť stolíc horného Uhorska, teda väčšinu dnešného Slovenska; sultánova listina ho titulovala kráľom horného Uhorska, hoci sám používal titul knieža. V júli 1683, keď osmanské vojsko tiahlo na Viedeň, mu otvoril brány aj Prešporok. Viedeň však odolala, s osmanskou porážkou sa jeho štát rozpadol a v októbri 1685 dali Tököliho zatknúť sami Turci. Účet prišiel roku 1687 v Prešove: generál Anton Caraffa tam zriadil súd, dal odsúdiť dvadsaťštyri mešťanov a šľachticov, od marca do septembra ich na postavenom lešení popravil a ich telá dal vystaviť pri cestách z mesta. Dodnes tomu hovoríme prešovské jatky a v dome, kde väzňov držali, je dnes mestská galéria.
