Years: 1547 - 1547
The Ottoman Turks, winning the current Austro-Turkish War, would prefer to continue their conquests, but hostilities cease.
The Porte signs with the Empire the Peace of Adrianople, thus ending in 1547 the war that had begun a decade earlier.
Limited to five years, the peace recognizes Ferdinand’s de facto rule over the Hungarian territory now held by him, in return for an annual tribute of thirty thousand gold ducats.
János II Sigismund Zápolya receives Transylvania and neighboring areas, together with the title “prince.” Emperor Charles V, the pope, France, and Venice are all signatories, heralding the acceptance by European powers of Turkish influence and power in European politics.
