Incoherency edit

Interesting article. But something is wrong with the timeline. According to article it was built by Suleiman II, destroyed in 1664 and burnt down completely in 1686. Well, Suleiman II reigned between 1687 and 1691. If commissiomned by Suleiman II, it had to be built later than 1687. Either the timeline or the name of the sultan seems to be incorrect.

I know....:-) The main reason why I wrote it, is to try to clarify a section in the article Tvrđa. I have found several references about the bridge, and they all contradict to each other. Apparently, it was built for the first time under Suleiman the Magnificent, and rebuilt several times, including during the time of Suleiman II. I hope I will soon fix things. Any help is appreciated. Regards, Kebeta (talk) 20:06, 1 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Well I don't have any source about the subject. But it occured to me that the names Suleiman I and Suleiman II maybe confused in the sources used in this article. Because I can't visualize Suleiman II building the bridge during the Great Turkish War in which Turkish side was receding. Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 19:54, 2 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

The bridge was initially built as a pontoon bridge and boardwalk over the marshes north of the Drava by Suleiman I during his campaign of 1566. 104.158.48.139 (talk) 13:20, 19 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Nicholas VII of Zrin edit

The standard way to write his name in English is Nikola VII Zrinski. 104.158.48.139 (talk) 13:21, 19 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
