Reply to comment by henryclay1844 in TIL The European 30 Years' War 1618 - 1648 began with Czech nobles throwing two Habsburg governors out of Prague castle window onto a huge dungheap. The corresponding carnage - fought over the issue of religious freedom following the Protestant Reformation - left millions dead. by Royal_Bumblebee_

The Last Valley by J. B. Pick is an historical novel that reflects a lot of the chaos and general awfulness of the time. Was made into a pretty good movie with Michael Caine and Omar Sharif.
