Description This article concerns the emergence of estates in the Habsburg monarchy as a historical process, in our case personified by Ladislav Veleny of Žerotín, Charles of Liechtenstein, and Albrecht von Wallenstein, consisting of a complex series of punishments and rewards. The uprising of the estates in 1618–1620, and more broadly in 1620–1636, can be seen as a complex system of “crimes and punishments” as well as “crimes and rewards.” Although the question of guilt seems obvious, it was subject to change both in the legal and constitutional system of the time and in later historiography. All parts of a complex sentence were treated as individual sanctions, even if the crime was committed by a group or collective body. At the same time, the lower and upper limits of the imposed punishment referred to the proven degree of guilt of a specific person, and more precisely, took into account aggravating and mitigating circumstances.
