Thanks Druzhina.

The "Buda Castle Conquest, 1526" caption is wrong, however. The miniature depicts Mehmed II's unsuccessful Siege of Belgrade in 1456 and shows Sultan Mehmed during his personal charge to the city walls where he got seriously wounded. The miniature, however, was drawn in the 16th century and depicts Ottoman and Hungarian armies of that century.

"Murad III at target shooting with arrows, 1584" should also be Murad II.
