Reply to comment by smalltowngrappler 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_

I mean he died like two years into the involvement of the Swedish army and they stayed involved for 16 years after that so more than likley it was the commanders after him that might have perpetrated it.
