Winter King in Capital
Religious tensions between our Catholic and Lutheran populace are nothing new, but they have recently reached worrying extremes. Some Lutheran nobles have managed to secure the support of other similar heretics from neighboring countries, and have even elected a candidate to substitute Target Character as Ruler Title of Country. Their boldness knows no limits, but the religious conflict is undeniable. We must either accept Lutheranism or be prepared to face them on the battlefield.

525historical_info = flavor_boh.8.historical_info In 1608 the tension increased between the Catholic parts and the Protestant parts of the Empire. The Protestants entered a union under Prince Fredrik of Pfalz that was supported by Brandenburg and Hessen-Kassel. The Catholics answered by forming a union of their own, the Catholic League. In 1618 the Protestants of Bohemia rebelled and choose a Protestant king of Bohemia, Fredrik of Pfalz. The emperor couldn't accept this, as he also was king of Bohemia. He sent his experienced commander Tilly with his troops to Bohemia and in the battle of the White Mountain, Fredrik of Pfalz's reign ended. All Protestant resistance in Austria and southern Germany was crushed. Fredrik escaped from Bohemia and was named 'The Winter King' due to his short reign.
