The Czechs and the Lands of the Bohemian Crown
6 Rebellion and Catastrophe The Thirty Years’ War was the last great religious war in Europe, and the first Europe-wide conflict of balance-of-power politics. Beginning with the Bohemian rebellion in 1618, the war grew into a confrontation between the German Protestant princes and the Holy Roman Emperor, and finally became a contest between France and the Habsburgs’ two dynastic monarchies, involving practically all other powers. The war may be divided into four phases: the Bohemian-Palatinate War (1618– 23), the Danish War (1625–29), the Swedish War (1630–35), and the Franco-Swedish War (1635–48). When the war finally ended with the Peace of Westphalia in 1648, the treaties set the groundwork for the system of international relations still in effect today. The outcome of the war integrated the Bohemian crownlands more fully with the other Habsburg possessions in a family empire that aspired to maintain its position as one of the powers in the international state system. This aspiration involved recurrent conflicts, on one side with the Turks, and on the other with Louis XIV’s France. .......................... 10888$ $CH6 08-05-04 15:18:33 PS PAGE 68 Rebellion and Catastrophe 69 VAE VICTIS!: THE BOHEMIAN CROWNLANDS IN THE THIRTY YEARS’ WAR After the Battle of the White Mountain and Frederick’s flight from Prague (his brief reign earned him the epithet ‘‘The Winter King’’), the last garrisons loyal to the Estates in southern and western Bohemia surrendered in May 1622. Even before these victories Ferdinand II began to settle accounts with his Bohemian opponents.

The Palace of Queen Anne Jagiello and Archduke Ferdinand II of Tyrol
The Palace of Queen Anne Jagiello OPEN and Archduke Ferdinand II of Tyrol ACCESS by the White Tower in Prague Castle* Petr Uličný From the times of Vladislaus II Jagiello (1456–1516) the residence in Prague Castle had two parts. After a costly refurbishment, the Old Royal Palace was adapted as the King’s seat and a new palace was built for the Queen by the White Tower on the west side of Prague Castle. Later it became the residence of Queen Anne Jagiello (1503–1547), wife of Ferdinand I, and after her death, in 1547, it became the residence of the second-born, Bohemian Governor Archduke Ferdinand II. Although not much has survived after numerous reconstructions, one can get a rough idea of its extent and furnishings on the basis of several fragments, written sources and iconography. KEYWORDS: Prague Castle; Queen’s Palace; residence; Habsburgs; Ferdinand I; Anne Jagiello; Archduke Ferdinand II of Tyrol; architecture; topography For centuries the King and Queen in Prague Castle shared residential quarters in one palace. Vladislaus II Jagiello (1456–1516) was evidently the first Bohemian ruler to separate the residence of the Queen from that of the King sometime after he moved back to the castle from Prague’s Old Town in 1485. He moved the site of the Queen’s residence one hundred metres to the west from the Old Royal Palace, which he had magnificently renovated over the course of his long reign (1471–1516), beside the castle’s main gate, which was guarded by the White Tower. This division of the royal residence into two parts was something new in the history of Prague Castle.
