This was the first act of violence in that long and sanguinary struggle which now began between the Protestants and the Catholics. Matthias was buried at Vienna where his tomb is still to be seen. Matthias was married to Anne of Austria, who died chieldless. 43. Ferdinand II. , (A. D. 16191637) king of Hungary and Bohemia, Archduke of Austria, a nephew of the emperor Maximilian II. , was elected and crowned at Frankfort at the very time when the Thirty Years' War was beginning. During the whole... of his reign Ferdinand followed his well-considered plan of campaign with unswerving energy, and in close alliance with Maximilian of Bavaria and the King of Spain. His generals as well as those of the League, Tilly, Pappenheim, and Wallenstein, were victorious in many battles and the emperor's enemies, who were not united by any ties whatever, were defeated and subdued one after the other. Thus Frederic, the elector of the Palatinate, who had been made king of Bohemia, lost his crown, after his defeat on the White Mountain near Prague (1620), and was shortly after even deprived of his hereditary dominions of the Palatinate.
