The siege of Buda was a military operation led by the Ottoman Empire with the aim of capturing Buda and installing John Zápolya as its ruler. [1] [2]
Ferdinand I was able to defeat John Zápolya in September 1527 and have himself crowned in November. [2] Zápolya refused to give up his claims to the Hungarian throne and therefore appealed to Suleiman for recognition in return for tribute. [2] Suleiman accepted Zápolya as his vassal in February and in May 1529 Suleiman personally embarked on his campaign. [1]
On 26–27 August Suleiman had Buda encircled and the siege began. [1] The walls were destroyed by intensive cannon and gun fire of the Ottoman artillery between 5 and 7 September. [1] The military preparedness, uninterrupted attacks and physical and psychological destruction that was caused by the Ottoman artillery had the desired effect. [1] The German mercenaries surrendered and ceded the castle to the Ottomans on 8 September. [1] John Zápolya was installed in Buda as a vassal of Suleiman. [3]
After the defeat of Ferdinand his supporters were promised safe passage from the town, however the Ottoman troops slaughtered them outside of the city walls. [4]
