August 1619 CE
The Bohemian nobles on August 17, 1619, officially depose Ferdinand as King of Bohemia and replace him ten days later with the Palatine Elector Frederick V.
Frederick begins negotiating alliances with England (ruled by his Catholic Stewart father-in law James I), the United Provinces (virtually ruled by Frederick’s Protestant uncle, Maurice of Nassau) and Turkish-client state Transylvania, ruled by Protestant prince Gabor Bethlen, who hopes to wrest the Hungarian crown from the Habsburgs.
