Wallenstein, commander of the imperial army, opens negotiations
with John George, Elector of Saxony, to reach a peaceful end to
what was to become known as the Thirty Years War. He proposes an
agreement based on the repeal of the 1629 Edict of Restitution, but
the Emperor Ferdinand II refuses to consider repealing this piece
of pro-Catholic legislation.
