In early August 1687, Ottoman forces pushed the Habsburg army back toward Mohács. Charles of Lorraine, unaware of the Ottoman presence, planned to move to Siklós for better ground.
The Ottoman army drove the Habsburgs back toward a fortified position near Mohács. Duke Charles did not suspect the enemy's proximity. On the morning of 12 August, he decided to move to Siklós because the hard ground there was more suitable for battle.
