Other studies reveal the significance of Hungarian–Ottoman confrontations in the slow emergence of Hungarian national consciousness or deal with the multiple identities of individuals and communities. The authors consider a wide scale of loyalties which – among Christians – bound individuals and communities in the same manner to language, culture, religion, (imagined) comancestry as to the territory, the patria, the country, and the empire. We discover similar tendencies on the Ottoman side, where an abundance of identities coexisted, influencing each other.

Within a few decades following Hungary’s subjection to Habsburg rule the everyday experiences of the Ottoman era had faded away a
