Norsk bokmål: Det bøhmiske kanselliet med defenestrasjonen av to katolske rådsmenn og begynnelsen på 30-års krigen, på Prahaborgen. "It's an urban legend that the 2nd Defenstration of Prague didn't harm the three men who were thrown out of the window just because of a dunghill at the foot of the wall underneath the window. It's much more likely that the heavy clothes, especially the long thick coats, cushioned their fall enough so as to prevent lethal injuries. Moreover, since the building had tapering walls and the window was very narrow, the three men weren't flung out of it and thus didn't fall straight down, but more or less slid the 21 m down until they had reached the foot of the wall. Unlike the poor lot that had been killed in the 1st Defenstration of Prague in 1419, the three men didn't only survive their defenestration, they also managed to escape their pursuers and found refuge in the castle of Princess Polyxena of Lobkowicz, who defended them against the raging mob that wanted to see the three men dead." - Eric Mustardman
