THE ROYAL PALACE OF HRADČANY, AT PRAGUE, BOHEMIA
On the 23d of May, 1618, the assembled nobles threw from the windows of the council room two of the councillors who were convicted of treason to the Bohemian cause. This was the initial act of those that led to The Thirty Years' War, which devastated Central Europe, 1618–1648, resulting in the death of millions and almost in the depopulation of Bohemia, Bavaria, Saxony, etc.
