When Sigismund Battori came out to view his army he was made acquainted with the signal services of Smith at "Olumpagh, Stowell- Weisenberg, and Regall," and rewarded him by conferring upon him, according to the law of arms, a shield of arms with "three Turks' heads."
He was succeeded in 1575 by his brother Christopher Battori, who was the first to drop the title of vaivode and assume that of Prince of Transylvania. The son of Christopher, Sigismund Battori, shook off the Turkish bondage, defeated many of their armies, slew some of their pashas, and gained the title of the Scanderbeg of the times in which he lived.
