Frederick V, King of Bohemia from 1619-1620. Frederick, Elector Palatine (1610-1623) was offered the crown of Bohemia when the kingdom's Protestant Diet deposed the Catholic King Ferdinand II, the Holy Roman Emperor. Frederick accepted, and was crowned in Prague in November 1619. Unfortunately for Frederick, he did not receive the support he expected from King James I of England and the Protestant League, an alliance of German states, and he was defeated and overthrown at the Battle of White Mountain in 1620. The brevity of his reign earned him the derisive title of the Winter King.
