Gabriel Bethlen
Gabriel Bethlen (; 1580 – 15 November 1629) was Prince of Transylvania from 1613 to 1629 and Duke of Opole from 1622 to 1625. He was also King-elect of Hungary from 1620 to 1621, but he never took control of the whole kingdom. Bethlen, supported by the Ottomans, led his Calvinist principality against the Habsburgs and their Catholic allies. Early life Gabriel was the elder of the two sons of Farkas Bethlen de Iktár and Druzsiána Lázár de Szárhegy. Gabriel was born in his father's estate, Marosillye (now Ilia in Romania), in 1580. Farkas Bethlen was a Hungarian nobleman who lost his ancestral estate, Iktár (now Ictar-Budinț in Romania), due to the Ottoman occupation of the central territories of the Kingdom of Hungary. Stephen Báthory, Prince of Transylvania, granted Marosillye to him and made him captain-general of the principality. Druzsiána Lázár was descended from a Székely noble family. Both Farkas Bethlen and his wife died in 1591, leaving their t ...

György Enyedi (Unitarian)
György Enyedi, in Latin Georgius Eniedinus (1555 – 28 Nov. 1597) was a Hungarian Unitarian bishop, moderator of the John Sigismund Unitarian Academy in Kolozsvár and writer known as the "Unitarian Plato". Enyedi's major work was the posthumously-published anti-Trinitarian ''Explicationes'' (1598) which circulated widely in Europe. The first Catholic refutation of the ''Explicationes'' was Ambrosio Peñalosa's ''Opus egregium'' (1635). According to Marshall (1994), Locke started his reading of Unitarian writers with Enyedi in 1679, before more extensive exploration of Socinian works 1685-86. Works A short biography and bibliography is included in Christof Sand's Bibliotheca Anti-Trinitariorum (1684). *''Explicationes locorum Veteris & Novi Testamenti, ex quibus trinitatis dogma stabiliri solet.'', 2nd ed. 1598, 3rd edition probably Groningen, 1670. *''De Divintate Christi'' *A collection of his sermons, that remained unprinted until the twenty-first century, though copied in v ...

Szekler Sabbatarians
The Szekler Sabbatarians (in Transylvanian Saxon: (Siebenbürgen) Sambatianer; in German: Siebenbürgische Sabbatianer; in Hungarian: Szombatosok, zombatosok, sabbatariusok, zsidózók, Şomrei Sabat) were a religious group in Transylvania and Hungary between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries who held Unitarian and Judaizing beliefs, including the affirmation of Seventh-day Sabbatarianism. History The Magyar Sabbatarians arose among Transylvanian Unitarians, led by Matthias Vehe's followers András Eőssi and Simon Péchi who founded the Sabbatarians in 1588, after Ferenc Dávid died in prison and the Unitarian church formalised on a non-Sabbatarian line. Initially they believed Jesus to be the messiah, but a human rather than divine messiah. Gradually they passed to read only the Old Testament and to celebrate Torah's feasts, follow dietary laws, and a strict observance of seventh-day Sabbath, but not circumcision. Most of their followers were of Székely ethnicity a ...
