The Battle of Buda (1686) between the Holy League and Ottoman Empire and the resulting reconquest of the capital as well as the regions of Hungary that had been occupied by the Ottomans since the catastrophic Battle of Mohács (1526) had an immense reverberation in Europe. In the modern period the Muslims are concentrated in the capital city and a few regional centres. The Ottomans lived in the fortified settlements mainly in the hilly or montanous areas. During the Middle Ages their communities settled in the royal estates in different places countrywide.

Examination of the prophecies of 1533 within the context of the time nicely illustrates how prophecy and politics could have a reciprocal relationship, with the former being tailored to the occasion and the latter responding to apocalyptic foreboding. Millenarian speculation was widespread in the early sixteenth century, but sometimes it had direct consequences inasmuch as it came to figure in the calculations of political actors. In response, he perhaps was inspired to play out his prophetic role, for he told an ambassador of Charles V that he would help the emperor's forces capture Istanbul while Sultan Süleyman was away at war. Widely detested by Ottoman officials, however, Gritti felt that his power was waning in 1534. A confidant of Sultan Srlcyman and the grand vizier, Gritti was deeply involved in the war of the Ottomans against Charles V of the Spanish-Habsburg empire, as a commander of Ottoman troops, advisor on Western affairs, and governor-general of the Hungarian kingdom.
