He became King of Bohemia in 1617, King of Hungary in 1618, and Holy Roman Emperor in 1619. His election to the Imperial throne was delayed as the Bohemians realised that he might threaten their religious, and possibly civil, liberties. Consequently he was renounced as King of Bohemia and the Elector Palatine, Frederick V, was chosen in his place. The ensuing uprising sparked the beginning of the thirty years war.

Lot 365
AVERY RARE PAIR OF GERMAN ETCHED AND BLUED GAUNTLETS, EARLY 17TH CENTURY each formed of a strongly flared and pointed cuff made in one piece with a riveted join at the inside of the wrist, its upper edge decorated with a plain inward turn accompanied by a recessed border and retaining its original lining-band, two wrist-plates, five metacarpal-plates, shaped knuckle-plate, scaled finger-defences and laterally-hinged thumb-defence with matching scales, the leathers of the scales in each case original, the cuff, wrist-plates and metacarpal-plates medially ridged, the subsidiary edges of all parts of the gauntlet bevelled, its surfaces blued and in the case of the outside of the cuff etched through the bluing with four framed panels of foliate scrolls (lightly pitted and patinated overall) Given its extreme delicacy, decoration of the kind seen here, produce by etching with a weak acid through a blued surface to bright metal, rarely survives. It can be recorded as early as 1477 on a bard made by Lorenz Helmschmied of Augsburg for the Emperor Frederick III, and now preserved in the Hofjagd-und Rüstkammer, Vienna, Inv. No. A 69 (Thomas & Gamber 1976, pp. 104-5, pls 32-3). A mid-16th century besague, probably of Brunswick make, in the Royal Armouries Museum, Leeds, also shows such decoration, as does an early 17th century couter, possibly of Flemish make, in the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge.
