Reply to comment by Polymarchos 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_

If you read Czech I can recommend you something. My history teacher at university was one of the historians who went against the dungheep/trashheep story and spent a lot of time going through primary sources to dispute that.
