Johann George was straightway ty- rannously put to the Ban, forfeited of life and lands:* Johann George disowned the said Ban ; stood out fiercely for self and Winter-King; and did good fighting in the Silesian strongholds and mountain-passes : but was forced to seek temporary shelter in Siebenhurgen (Transylvania) ; and died far away, in a year or two (1624), while return- ing to try it again. Sleeps, I think, in the "Jablunka Pass f the dumb Giant-Mountains {Riesen-Gehirge) shroud- ing up his... sad shipwreck and him. Jagerndorf was thus seized by Ferdinand 11. of the House of Hapsburg; and though it was contrary to all law that the Kaiser should keep it, — ^poor Johann George having left Sons very innocent of treason, and Brothers, and an Electoral Nephew, very innocent; to whom, by old compacts and new, the Heritage in defect of him was to fall, — neither Kaiser Ferdinand 11, nor Kaiser Ferdi- nand III., nor any Kaiser would let go the hold; but kept Jagerndorf fast clenched, deaf to all pleadings, and monitions of gods or men.
