Magistrates, madonnas and miracles : the Counter Reformation in the Upper Palatinate
In 1621, in one of the earliest campaigns of the Thirty Years' War, the South German principality of the Upper Palatinate was invaded and annexed by Maximilian of Bavaria, director of the Catholic League. This book aims to place the political impact of the Thirty Years' War into the broader context of the Upper-Palatinate's religious culture.
