So, I'm reading a biography of Cardinal Richelieu, and I have to say that I love that there is an actual historical event called the Defenestration of Prague. And it's actually kind of an important one, since it was one of the immediate falling-dominoes that led to the Thirty Years' War.

ETA: I just looked it up on Wikipedia and apparently there were two Defenestrations of Prague--the one I just read about and another in 1419. XD
