In 1619 he stepped into a larger See also:arena. Before this date the estates of Bohemia, See also:Protestant in sympathy and dissatisfied with the See also:rule of the Habsburgs, had been in frequent communication with the elector palatine, and in August 1619, a few months after the death of the See also:emperor See also:Matthias, they declared his successor, See also:Ferdinand, afterwards the emperor Ferdinand II., deposed, and See also:chose Frederick as their king. After some hesitation the elector yielded to the entreaties of See also:Christian I., prince of See also:Anhalt (1568-1630), and other sanguine supporters, and was crowned king of Bohemia at See also:Prague on the 4th of See also:November 1619.
