Invading Turkish Hungary after victory at Vienna (1683), Charles V of Lorraine and Louis of Baden were heavily repulsed at Buda (1684) but in a second siege drove off a relief army under Grand Vizier Kara Ibrahim. They retook the city after 78 days, slaughtering most of the garrison including the heroic commander Abdi Pasha, ending almost 150 years of Turkish rule.
