Charles of Germany had become a danger for both Europe and the
Ottoman Empire. Francois of France had sent an ambassador to Suleyman and asked for a
promise for a campaign to Austria. Suleyman gave his word and the Ottoman Army passed the
river Danube and entered Hungary. On 20th August 1526 a disastrous battle had been
fought, which Hungary still bears the name of the destruction of Mohacs. The Ottoman army
defeated Hungarians in few hours and captured Buda. Hungary became an Ottoman depended
kingdom. John Zapolya had been appointed as the king.
