Following the Battle of Mohacs, the Ottomans were forced to withdraw as events elsewhere in their now massive Empire required the Sultan's attention [Turnbull, Stephen. The Ottoman Empire 1326 - 1699. New York: Osprey, 2003. pg 49] . 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 launched his own counter-attack negating all of Ferdinand's gains. Of greater disappointment was the fact that many of the recently captured forts surrendered without resistance greatly speeding up the advance. As a result, Suleiman was able to reach and besiege Vienna.
