Just a few years before, the Christians at Malta defeated a massive Ottoman invasion force, too. Doesn’t get the same “ink” as Lepanto, but given the odds, it was an even more impressive victory.
Lepanto gets the ink, because it was the finality, the exclamation mark and the point of decline for the Turks. There was also an invasion force into Hungry that got chewed up during a drawn out siege at this time.
