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]
