Tamás Erdődy

Count Tamás Erdődy (1558–1624) was a Hungarian-Croatian magnate who became Ban of Croatia in 1583. After earlier victories over the Ottomans and a defeat at Brest in 1592, he helped crush the Ottoman army at Sisak in 1593, a battle that triggered the Long Turkish War; Pope Clement VIII sent him his congratulations.

After leaving the banate in 1595, he held senior court offices. From 1607 he was perpetual count of Varaždin, an office made hereditary in his family, and he held the banate again from 1608 to 1615. He died in 1624.
