Years: 1540 - 1683

Leopold, after a failed Hungarian plot to throw off Habsburg rule, suppresses the Hungarian constitution, subjects Royal Hungary to direct absolute rule from Vienna, and harshly represses Hungarian Protestants, handing over Protestant ministers who refuse to deny their faith to work as galley slaves.

Hungarian discontent deepens.

In 1681 Imre Thokoly, a Transylvanian nobleman, leads a rebellion against the Habsburgs and forces Leopold I to convoke the Diet and restore Hungary's constitution and the office of palatine.

The Turks, sensing weakness, make their strike against Austria, but Polish forces rout them near Vienna in 1683.
