Following the Battle of Mohacs the Ottomans were forced to withdraw as events elsewhere in their now massive Empire required the Sultan's attention^[1] Seizing upon their absence was Ferdinand I who attempted to enforce his claim as King of Hungary. In 1527 he drove back the Ottoman vassal John Szapolyai and captured Buda, Raab, Komoron, Gran and Szekesfehervar by 1528. Meanwhile, the Ottoman Sultan took no action at this stage despite the pleas of his vassal.

Aftermath

For the Austrians, the victory here would be a very disappointing one. On 10 May 1529, Suleiman the Magnificent lauched his own counter-attack negating all of Ferdniand's gains.

Suleyman I (Ottoman Turkish: Sulaymān, Turkish: ; formally Kanuni Sultan Süleyman in Turkish) (November 6, 1494 – September 5/6, 1566), was the tenth and longest‐serving Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, reigning from 1520 to 1566. ...
