Giorgio Basta (1544-1607), was a general of
Albanian descent, employed by the Holy Roman Emperor to command Habsburg forces in the Long War of (1591-1606) and later to administer Transylvania as an Imperial vassal. On his orders, his ally Michael of Wallachia, who unified Transylvania, Wallachia and Moldavia was murdered days after a joint victory at Goroszló (now Gurăslău, Hereclean commune, Sălaj county) in 1601.
Hungarian and Romanian historians alike portray Basta as a treacherous, licentious and violent man, motivated by a pathological hatred of Magyars. During his brief period of control over Transylvania, the principality descended into chaos. In the anarchic terror imposed by his marauding, lawless armies of mercenaries and bandits, Transylvania lost a third of its population, including most of the nobility.
After his experiences of warfare in Eastern Europe, Basta wrote several military manuals, the best known of which is his 'Il maestro di campo generale...'(Venice 1606), and his posthumous work 'Il governo della cavalleria leggiera' (Venice 1612).
