Siege Of Buda (1529)
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.Veszprémy, László"Buda: From a Royal Palace to an Assaulted Border Castle, 1490–1541."In Medieval Buda in Context, pp. 495-512. Brill, 2016.Bonney, Richard"Suleiman I ("the Magnificent")(1494–1566)."The Encyclopedia of War (2011). Ferdinand I was able to defeat John Zápolya in September 1527 and have himself crowned in November. Zápolya refused to give up his claims to the Hungarian throne and therefore appealed to Suleiman for recognition in return for tribute. Suleiman accepted Zápolya as his vassal in February and in May 1529 Suleiman personally embarked on his campaign. On 26–27 August Suleiman had Buda encircled and the siege began. The walls were destroyed by intensive cannon and gun fire of the Ottoman artillery between 5 and 7 September. The military preparedness, uninterrupted attacks and physical and psychological d ...

Siege Of Buda (1530)
The siege of Buda in 1530 was a failed attempt to capture Buda from the Ottomans by Ferdinand I.Pálfffy, Géza"Hungary, Vienna and the Defence System against the Ottomans in the Age of Süleyman."In The Battle for Central Europe, pp. 321–337. Brill, 2019. In 1529 Suleiman the Magnificent captured Buda and installed John Zápolya as his vassal. Because Zápolya was weak, to protect Buda, Suleiman left a garrison of 3,000 Ottoman soldiers under the command of Alvise (Ludovico) Gritti, who were later joined by 800 Serbs and Turks as the remainder of the Ottoman Army marched on and laid siege to the city of Vienna. Ferdinand wanted to rule the entirety of the Kingdom of Hungary, as a result he attempted to occupy Buda which resulted in a siege that lasted from October 31 to December 20, in 1530. The besiegers were hindered by the weather and by Gritti’s successful defence of the castle.Veszprémy, László"Buda: From a Royal Palace to an Assaulted Border Castle, 1490–1 ...

Siege Of Buda (1541)
The siege of Buda (4 May – 21 August 1541) ended with the capture of the city of Buda, the historical capital of the Kingdom of Hungary, by the Ottoman Empire, leading to about 150 years of Ottoman rule in parts of Hungary. The siege, part of the Little War in Hungary, was one of the most important Ottoman victories over the Habsburg monarchy during Ottoman–Habsburg wars (16th to 18th century) in Hungary and the Balkans. Siege Following the Battle of Mohács, the Kingdom of Hungary became divided between the Ottoman Empire encroaching from the East and the Habsburg monarchy which had inherited the title of King of Hungary. The Ottoman vassal John I of Hungary died in 1540, and his son John II, who was at that time a minor, was crowned king under the regency of his mother Isabella Jagiellon and bishop George Martinuzzi. This was accepted by the Ottoman ruler Suleiman the Magnificent under the condition that the Hungarians would continue to pay tribute to the Ottoman ...

Siege Of Pest
The siege of Pest (modern city of Budapest, Hungary) occurred in 1542, when Ferdinand I attempted to recover the cities of Buda and Pest in 1542 from the Ottoman Empire. They had been occupied by the Ottomans under Suleiman since the siege of Buda (1541). The siege was led by Joachim of Brandenburg.Anett Puskár, "Noble Strategies for Maintaining Power: Reflections on the Life of a Hungarian Aristocrat", in ''Power and Culture: Identity, Ideology, Representation'', edited by Jonathan Osmond and Ausma Cimdin̦a (Edizioni Plus, 2007)p. 20 The siege was repulsed by the Ottomans, who would remain in control of central Hungary Hungary is a landlocked country in Central Europe.

Siege Of Buda (1684)
The siege of Buda (14 July – 30 October 1684) was a siege by the Holy Roman Empire of the Ottoman fortress of Buda. After 109 days, the siege was abandoned. Prelude In May 1684, an army of 38,000–43,000 men marched under Charles V, Duke of Lorraine to capture the city of Buda from the Turks. After the main army crossed the Danube at Esztergom on 13 June, the front of the imperial army under the command of Maximilian Lorenz Starhemberg and the cavalry Gen. Louis William, Margrave of Baden-Baden arrived at the castle town of Visegrád on 15 June. On 16 June the town of Esztergom was taken by storm by imperial troops in spite of its strong walls, after a gate was destroyed by cannons. The majority of the Turkish occupation troops were killed and the city was plundered. Only a few Turks managed to withdraw to the castle on the rock above the city. After a siege of 1-1/2 days, the remaining Turkish garrison capitulated on 18 June. On 27 June the imperial army met a strong Tur ...

Siege Of Buda (1686)
The siege of Buda (1686) () was a military engagement during the Great Turkish War, in which forces of the Holy League, led by the Habsburg Monarchy, recaptured the fortified city of Buda (now part of modern-day Budapest) from the Ottoman Empire. The siege took place between 18 June and 9 September 1686, ending nearly 150 years of Ottoman control over the former Hungarian capital. The campaign followed the failed Ottoman siege of Vienna in 1683 and was part of a broader counteroffensive launched by the Holy League. The multinational Christian coalition fielded an army of up to 100,000 men, while the Ottoman defenders, under Abdurrahman Abdi Arnavut Pasha, resisted for over two months before the city was stormed. The fall of Buda paved the way for Habsburg consolidation over central Hungary and led to the establishment of hereditary Habsburg monarchy in the Kingdom of Hungary.

Siege Of Buda (1849)
The siege of Buda took place at Buda castle (called ''Festung Ofen'' in German), part of the twin capital cities of the Kingdom of Hungary. The Hungarian revolutionary army was led by General Artúr Görgei during the Hungarian War of Independence. Part of the Spring Campaign, the siege began on 4 May 1849, ending with the Hungarian capture of the castle by assault on 21 May. Buda Castle was the only fortress throughout the entire war to be taken by storm by the besiegers on either side. All other fortresses capitulated following agreements between besiegers and besieged. The siege of Buda was also the shortest siege of the war (18 days). The senseless bombardment of Pest by Austrian commander Major General Heinrich Hentzi caused destruction of classic buildings on the shores of the Danube. Other regions of the capitals also suffered heavy damage due to the artillery duels between the two sides. The capture of Buda Castle completed the liberation of the Hungarian capital citi ...
