Vilém Slavata of Chlum

Vilém Slavata of Chlum (1572–1652) was a Bohemian nobleman born near Kutná Hora. Raised in the Unity of the Brethren, he converted to Catholicism in 1597 and served Rudolf II and Matthias at court. A firm backer of Ferdinand II, he was the king's viceregent in Prague when Protestant nobles led by Thurn threw him and Jaroslav of Martinice from the castle windows on 23 May 1618.

He survived with severe injuries but was arrested. The next year he escaped to Saxony and then Passau. He returned after the White Mountain victory of 1620, became a leading figure in restoring Catholicism, and in 1628 became High Chancellor of Bohemia.
