Sujet(s) : Ressources en ligne : Abrégé : Rarely analyzed by historians who study revolts because it was not spontaneous, popular, or based on any original political thought, the Uprising of Bohemian Estates (1618-1620) provides historians with something rare: banality. The rebelling nobles were indeed accustomed to the heated but codified debates of the kingdom’s diet. The defenestration revived a ritual that was certainly a tradition in the kingdom but not particularly comprehensible for a Europe that was sensitive to questions about sovereignty. On the other hand, ad extra discourse (preserving the position of royal majesty) and ad intra discourse (Protestant prophetism) were carefully controlled—perhaps excessively so, causing rebels to become discouraged.
