专家说明

The inscription may be for Franz Christoph Frangepan or Fran Krsto Frankopan (1643-1671) who in the Zrinski–Frankopan Conspiracy stood against Emperor Leopold I (r.1658-1705) in Croatia and Hungary. In 1671 he was sentenced to death for treason and beheaded with his brother Zrinski in Vienna Neustadt.
