There are also small historical episodes connected with Syrmia, but their consequences are sometimes quite important. One of such episodes was selling of Syrmia to Livio Odescalchi. After the great war of liberation from Ottoman rule, Odescalchi used the great indeptness of emperor Leopold and in 1697 he bought famous Syrmia duchy. Croatian nobility in the Croatian Diet was also interested to take control over liberated areas and also over Syrmia.
