1618 - La Défenestration de Prague plot

On May 23, 1618, some Catholic representatives of King Ferdinand II are pushed out of the window of Hradschin Castle in Prague. The perpetrators, a group of Protestants, want to protest in this way against the increasing oppression of Protestants within the Habsburg Empire. The unfortunate deputies escaped with minor injuries, but the Second Prague Defenestration nevertheless had major consequences: this incident culminated a short time later in the Bohemian Revolt, which in turn formed the initial phase of the Thirty Years' War.
