Lord Protector;11054808 Im still firmly convinced that if the moron lives longer he will cause more harm than good said:Well, have to defend him, IMHO you are quitea bit misinformed.
The charge, you mentioned in your earlier post, was not exactly a reckless moronic thing. After the main cavalry body flunked their things up, he (and the reseve) had prettymuch two options: intervene and try to save the day.. somehow.. or watch the cavalry perish, and after that, the footsoldiers too.
As for his death: foul play cannot be ruled out, but by occam, drowning is the most likely reason. drowning, in full armor, in a flooding stream, felling from a horse, pretty much abandoned by everyone. Not a facepalm situation, except that he was pretty much alone and abandoned.
But, lets play with the idea, he did not fell down from the horse and drown, but survived and reaches a safe place.
First of all, he still have some (well, theoritically the same size lost at Mohács) army as before (Szapolyai, the bohemians, the croats). But after such a devastating defeat, asking for terms is inevitable, and whatever hars terms Suleiman demands, he would have been accepted those. Some kind of vassalage is not out of the question.
But, he is alive and kicking, so, the most important thing, that there is no dual crowning and certeanyl no civil war! He still have an intact powerbase in the form of Bohemia, great deal of the magnates of dead and quite possible, that he would have been lost his faith in the remaining ones (since the badly organized campaign, the battle accepted and lost was not really his idea).
As per historical paralells, his situation would have been quite paralell to IV. Béla after muhi, so a serious modernization and kracking of heads would have been likely.
