On 29 August 1526 the army of Sultan Suleiman destroyed the Hungarian army on the plain at Mohács in under two hours; the twenty-year-old King Louis II drowned in a swollen stream as he fled the field. Two men were then elected king — Ferdinand of Habsburg and the Transylvanian noble John Szapolyai — and while they fought each other the Ottomans took Buda in 1541. What was left of the kingdom broke into three pieces: the Ottoman middle, Transylvania under Ottoman protection, and Royal Hungary, a strip of the west and north ruled by the Habsburgs. That strip was, in practice, the territory of today's Slovakia — which is how this country came to hold what was left of a kingdom, its parliament, its church and its crown.29. augusta 1526 rozdrvilo vojsko sultána Sulejmana uhorské vojsko na rovine pri Moháči za necelé dve hodiny; dvadsaťročný kráľ Ľudovít II. sa pri úteku z bojiska utopil v rozvodnenom potoku. Šľachta si nato zvolila hneď dvoch kráľov — Ferdinanda Habsburského a sedmohradského veľmoža Jána Zápoľského — a kým sa medzi sebou bili, Osmani roku 1541 obsadili Budín. Z kráľovstva ostali tri kusy: osmanský stred, Sedmohradsko pod osmanskou ochranou a Kráľovské Uhorsko, pás na západe a severe v rukách Habsburgovcov. Tým pásom bolo v podstate územie dnešného Slovenska — a tak sa stalo, že zvyšok kráľovstva aj s jeho snemom, cirkvou a korunou prežil práve u nás.
