The Bohemians have reneged on their offer …
Years: 1620 - 1620
February
The Bohemians have reneged on their offer of their crown, but the Transylvanians continue to make surprising progress, succeeding in driving the Emperor's armies from this country by 1620.
Although Bethlen has conquered most of Royal Hungary, he is not averse to a peace, nor to a preliminary suspension of hostilities, and negotiations had been opened at the conquered towns of Pozsony, Kassa and Besztercebánya.
They had initially led to nothing because Bethlen had insisted on including the Czechs in the peace, but finally a truce is concluded on February 4, 1620, under which Bethlen receives thirteen counties in the east of Royal Hungary.
