Reply to comment by TheRed_Knight 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 dungheap appears to be a later protestant invention. The catholics of course claimed angelic intervention. In practice fall was short enough that they just got lucky.
