1527 CE to 1528 CE
The Hungarian campaign of 1527–1528 is launched by Ferdinand I, Archduke of Austria and King of Hungary and Bohemia, against the Ottoman Turks.
Following the Battle of Mohács, the Ottomans are forced to withdraw as events elsewhere in their now massive Empire require the Sultan's attention.
Seizing upon their absence, Ferdinand I attempts to enforce his claim as King of Hungary.
In 1527, he drives back the Ottoman vassal John Zápolya and captures Buda, Győr, Komárno, Esztergom, and Székesfehérvár by 1528.
Meanwhile, the Ottoman Sultan, Suleiman the Magnificent, takes no action at this stage despite the pleas of his vassal.
