After their death, the king finds himself helpless.

When Toungoo forces arrive once again in late 1538, he decides, rather than fight, to flee Pegu for the Prome Kingdom, where another brother-in-law of his, Narapati of Prome, is king.

After the Ottoman invasion of Hungary in the first third of the sixteenth century, the city has become a constant point of contention between the Principality of Transylvania, the Ottoman Empire and the Habsburg Monarchy.

The Peace of Várad, mediated in 1538 by Zápolya's adviser, the Paulist bishop György Martinuzzi (Juraj Utje-senovic, “Friar George”), is concluded between Emperor Ferdinand I and John Zápolya here on February 4, 1538, in which they mutually recognize each other as legitimate monarchs of a divided Hungary.
