 Siege of Vienna - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In August of 1526, Sultan Suleiman I (also known as Suleiman the Lawgiver or Suleiman the Magnificent) defeated the forces of King Lajos II of Hungary at the Battle of Mohács.
Following the partial conquest of Hungary, and the disintegration of the rest as a state, Suleiman turned his attention to Austria, whose ruler gained control of the Northern, Western and Southwestern (Croatia) parts of the former Kingdom of Hungary.
Three years following his defeat of Hungary, in the spring of 1529 Suleiman's armies began a general mobilization in Ottoman Bulgaria, mustering a host of around (or possibly surpassing) 325,000 men, 90,000 camels, and 500 artillery - however, newer research reduces troop strength to 120,000 men and 300 guns upon arrival at Vienna.
