Nobility Blog Entry

Many changes have occured over the past number of years, especially for us nobles. After the violent Thirty Years War, Protestantism had basically been wiped out, which is a pretty powerful statement seeing that as recently as 1600 a large number of nobles were Protestant in Bohemia. With Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand II trying to rid his land of Protestants, many nobles that are followers of that religion are being replaced by Catholics. It's strange, though, because these new nobles have little in common with the lands that they rule.
