He was elected king shortly after his father's Death, while still in his infancy, but his claim was contested by Ferdinand I of Germany (later Holy Roman emperor). On the pretext of protecting John's interests, as he had his father's, the Ottoman sultan Suleiman I, the Magnificent, then invaded Hungary (1541) and occupied Buda. Ferdinand finally made peace with Suleiman in 1562, receiving a small part of Hungary. John's rule was largely confined to Transylvania.
