Transcription

Prelude

The Hungarian campaign of 1684 began on 20 May when Charles V, Duke of Lorraine's Imperial force of 43,000 men under moved out from its base at the town of Šaľa on the river Váh, marching in disparate columns down the Danube's banks to undertake the conquest of Buda. The route along the southern bank contained the Ottoman castle of Visegrád.[1]

Siege

Lorraine started the siege of Visegrád on 15 June with an artillery bombardment. On 17 June, he demanded the Ottoman garrison's vacation of the fortress on penalty of execution by impalement. The garrison left the next day with its baggage.[2]

Aftermath

The last strongpoint on the road to Buda had been taken. The next action would be the Battle of Vác on 27 June.[2]
