Frederick V of the Palatinate

Frederick V of the Palatinate

1596 CE – 1632 CE

Frederick V (German: Friedrich V.; 26 August 1596 – 29 November 1632) was the Elector Palatine of the Rhine in the Holy Roman Empire from 1610 to 1623, and reigned as King of Bohemia from 1619 to 1620. He was forced to abdicate both roles, and the brevity of his reign in Bohemia earned him the derisive sobriquet "the Winter King" (Czech: Zimní král; German: Winterkönig). Frederick was born in Deinschwang, Palatinate at the hunting lodge (Jagdschloss), Germany.
