Vilém Slavata z Chlumu a Košumberka ((:ˈvɪlɛːm ˈslavata); (ドイツ語:Wilhelm Slawata von Chlum und Koschumberk)) (1 December 1572 – 19 January 1652) was a Czech nobleman from old Bohemian family. As viceregent ''(místodržící)'' of Emperor Ferdinand II of Habsburg (from 1617) he became famous as co-victim, along with Jaroslav Borzita of Martinice, of the 1618 Defenestration of Prague. ==Life== Vilém was born at his family's estates in Čestín near Kutná Hora. His father Adam had been an administrator of Emperor Rudolf II of Habsburg, who in 1583 had taken up his residence at Prague Castle and had guaranteed freedom of religion to the Protestant Bohemian estates by his Letter of Majesty (''Rudolfův Majestát'') issued in 1609. Though he was raised in the spirit of the Unity of the Brethren, Slavata converted to Catholicism in 1597 and became a fierce advocate of the older faith. Like his father he took service with Rudolf II who appointed him burgrave at Karlštejn. Under Rudolf's successor Matthias he became chamberlain of the Crown of Bohemia. Vilém supported the coronation of the devout Catholic Ferdinand of Inner Austria as Bohemian king against the resistance of the Protestant estates. In return Ferdinand vested him with the office of his representative at Prague, where he had to face the violent uprising of the nobles led by Jindřich Matyáš Thurn on 23 May 1618. Together with J. Bořita of Martinice he was thrown out of a window of the castle by an enraged multitude and, alive but severely injured, was arrested by the insurgents. One year later, he managed to escape to Saxony. However, Elector John George I, anxious for his neutral position, forced him to retire to Passau. After Ferdinand's victory at the Battle of the White Mountain in 1621, Slavata returned to Bohemia. A leading figure in restoring Catholicism, he received the title of a ''Reichsgraf'' ("Count of the Empire") and in 1628 was appointed chancellor of Bohemia. He died at Jindřichův Hradec.
