The dispute of Nagyharsány[]

In 1574 there was a religious dispute in Nagyharsány between the Unitarian preacher, , and the followers of Calvinism. Alvinczi was condemned to death and killed by his opponents.

The Ottoman authorities wanted to punish the Calvinist community for this deed, and sentenced those guilty to death. In a gesture of compassion, György Válaszúti, the Unitarian preacher of Pécs begged for their pardon - and the Beylerbey of Buda agreed to have them set free.^{[citation needed]}
