Part 1: Introduction - What Is a Defenestration? The term defenestration may sound peculiar to modern ears, but it holds a deeply significant place in European history - particularly in the Czech lands. Derived from the Latin words de- ("down from" or "away") and fenestra ("window"), defenestration simply means the act of throwing someone out of a window. Though seemingly straightforward, this term encapsulates a rare yet dramatic form of political violence that became emblematic of Prague's turbulent religious and political struggles during the late Middle Ages and the early modern period.

Once a mighty and unified entity under the Piast dynasty, it had fractured during the "Period of Fragmentation" - a two-century-long brawl between dukes, princes, and churchmen, each more interested in carving up territory than fostering national unity. From the late 1100s through the 1200s, Poland resembled not a kingdom, but a jigsaw puzzle in a windstorm. Petty dukedoms rose and fell like the tides, and foreign powers nibbled greedily at Polish borders.

Part I: The Day London Drowned in Beer In the early afternoon of October 17, 1814, the ordinary hum of life in St. Giles, one of London's most densely populated and impoverished neighborhoods, was about to be shattered - not by war, fire, or famine, but by something far more absurd and sinister.
