The battle near Novi Grad was fought in the year 1566 between Slovenian and Croatian forces under the Habsburg Monarchy led by the Carniolan military commander Herbard VIII von Auersperg and the Turkish forces led by an unknown Turkish commander.
The Battle
When the two armies met, the Habsburg troops under Herbard VIII von Auersperg saw that the Turkish army was much larger than their own. The soldiers were kind of scared, but Herbard commanded that they would fight anyway. The battle didn't cost the Habsburg army a large amount of casualties, but it did to the Ottomans. The Habsburg forces were ultimately victorious and, after the battle, captured the commander of the Ottoman forces, which they later released back to the Ottoman Empire for the ransom of 30,000 sequins. After the battle, the Habsburg Monarchy heard of their famous victory and Herbard’s highly successful performance in the battle, and awarded him with a position as a governor of the Duchy of Carniola with his home at Auersperg castle.
