Valpovo was held by Imre Perényi, his son Péter Perényi was one of the greatest Hungarian aristocrats and the last lord of Valpovo.[1] Suleiman the Magnificent personally led his troops in a campaign against the Habsburgs.[2] In 1543 he had his soldiers stationed and a two-month siege commenced.[1] Habsburg commanders made no move to send relief, the Valpovo garrison held out for two months and in the end the Ottomans were able to conquer Valpovo.[1][2][3]
