Answer
Frederick V of the Palatinate was offered the Crown of Bohemia on 26 August 1619 by a group of Protestant nobles. The nobles had become dissatisfied with the rule of Ferdinand II, who was a staunch Catholic. They believed that Frederick, who was also a Protestant, would be more likely to protect their religious rights. Frederick accepted the offer and was crowned king on 4 November 1619.
