Description State Academy of Sciences, Institute of History, Leszno District Museum The Revolt of the States of 1618-1636 can be seen as a complex of 'crimes and punishments' as well as 'crimes and rewards'. The issue of crimes seems obvious, but it too was subject to transformation in the legal and constitutional system of the time and in later historiography. If we study the diplomatic materials produced immediately after the Prague defenestration, which were sent from the imperial chancellery to all parts of the world and whose recipients were primarily electors and imperial princes of the Catholic, Lutheran and Calvinist faiths, it is characterised as a single crime of a criminal-legal nature, in the legal terminology of the time referred to as 'atentata'. The present text traces the issue through the transformation of the relationship between the victim punished, the person rewarded and the person deciding on the punishment and reward, using the example of three prominent personalities of the Thirty Years' War, Ladilsv Velen of Zerotín, Charles of Liechtenstein and Albrecht of Wallenstein.
