Albert II vs Tuman Bay II

Upon the death of his father-in-law Sigismund, Albert II inherited the crowns of Bohemia and Hungary. He was crowned King of Hungary in 1438 and King of Bohemia in 1438, though his rule in Bohemia was contested by the Hussites. This expanded Habsburg influence in Central Europe.

Following the death of Sigismund, Albert II was elected King of the Romans, becoming the first Habsburg to hold the title. His election marked the beginning of the Habsburgs' near-continuous hold on the imperial throne until 1806. Albert's reign was brief, lasting only two years.

Albert II led a military campaign against the Ottoman Empire in Serbia, aiming to halt their advance into the Balkans. The campaign was cut short by an outbreak of dysentery in the Christian army. Albert himself fell ill and died on the return journey, leaving his infant son Ladislaus the Posthumous as his heir.

Following the death of Qansuh al-Ghawri at Marj Dabiq, Tuman Bay II was proclaimed Sultan of the Mamluk Sultanate in Cairo. He inherited a realm in crisis, with the Ottoman army advancing into Syria.

Tuman Bay II led the Mamluk army against the Ottoman forces of Selim I at Ridaniya near Cairo. The Mamluks were defeated, and Cairo fell to the Ottomans. Tuman Bay fled but was captured shortly after.

After his capture, Tuman Bay II was hanged by order of Ottoman Sultan Selim I at the Zuwayla Gate in Cairo. This execution marked the end of the Mamluk Sultanate and the incorporation of Egypt into the Ottoman Empire.
