The Winter King (eBook, ePUB)

Frederick V of the Palatinate and the Coming of the Thirty Years' War

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Through a biographical study of Frederick V - the "Winter King" of Bohemia - The Winter King presents a fresh perspective on the causes and early years of the Thirty Year's War. Utilising Frederick's political and personal correspondence, backed up with a wealth of archival and secondary sources, Dr Pursell presents the Winter King's choices and alternatives, and interprets his words and responses to them. He argues that it is best to understand the war as an extended constitutional conflict, entailing religious and political factors together, fought within the Holy Roman Empire.
