Treaty of Nagyvárad

Treaty of Nagyvárad

The Treaty of Várad was a secret peace agreement between Ferdinand I of the Holy Roman Empire and the Ottoman Empire, signed in Várad (modern-day Oradea, Romania) on February 24, 1538. Through it, John Zápolya was recognized as King of Hungary, while Ferdinand retained the western parts of the Hungarian Kingdom, and was recognized as heir to the Hungarian throne. John Zápolya was left with the remaining two-thirds of the Kingdom. A short while before Zápolya's death, his wife bore him a son, John II Sigismund Zápolya. Zápolya died in 1540, and John Sigismund was recognized as King of Hungary by the Hungarian nobility. The Ottoman Sultan Suleyman the Magnificent also recognized John Sigismund as King and as his vassal.
