page 60 note 1 The name is for once correct. It is sometimes given as ‘Wrangel’.
page 60 note 2 See Introduction.
page 60 note 3 This is absurd : the King entered from the North-East : the Castle is West of the city.
page 60 note 4 The word seems inexplicable, but plainly some form of shelter is meant. ‘Châteaux’ has been suggested as an obscure military term of the period, but such use lacks confirmation.

page 74 note 1 It is difficult to say who are meant by these names : Huskirk may be Hofkirch. The rest are uncertain. ‘ Young Grave Coronell Tirskey ’ may be a description of some cadet of the Trczka family. Wallenstein spared no man in his wrath. But Khevenhüller's list (XII. 495) contains no such names.
