Looking forward to this talk. It has made me review so much of the extant literature on these individuals. Broad hint, some of these men were continuing their service from the #ThirtyYearsWar - but most were fresh out of Scotland. Why? (And where did they go?)

The window that started the Thirty Years’ War when, on 23 May 1618 Protestant noblemen threw Catholic Imperial officials from this window in Prague Castle. Amazingly, they survived. The Defenestration sparked a Bohemian revolt against Habsburg authority #defenestrationofprague #thirtyyearswar
