Ferdinand II, Holy Roman Emperor (24 set 1619 ano – 23 jul 1637 ano)

Descrição:

However, in the early
1600s, the Hapsburg emperors once again antagonized the Protestants in
the Holy Roman Empire by permitting the religious persecution of all
Protestants and destroying Protestant churches. These emperors once
again claimed that the Hapsburg family had been chosen by God to defend
the Catholic Church and to prepare the world for Christ's return. The
actions of these emperors caused powerful Protestants to react by forming
the Evangelical Union (led by Protestant noblity) who fought against the
Hapsburg Emperor and the other Catholic Princes who ha dformed their
own union known as the Catholic League. The Thirty Years war begins in
1618.
