Juraj Turzo (2. 9. 1567 – 24. 12. 1616), politician, diplomat, anti-Turkish fighter, scholar, cultural and religious patron, was one of the most influential magnates of Hungary at the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries. He was the hereditary count of the Orava county and the owner of the Orava, Lietava, Bytča, and Tokaj estates. He participated in numerous anti-Turkish campaigns, diplomatic negotiations, and was an advisor to Emperor Rudolf II. In 1609, he was elected palatine, the highest-ranking secular official in the Kingdom of Hungary. Throughout his life, he was involved in spreading education and supporting the evangelical faith.
