A legendary founder of this city told her advisor to find a man using an iron plough as a table to be her husband. The historian Cosmas, who is identified by the name of this city, records that woman saying “I see a great city whose glory will touch the stars,” before naming this city for a man making a threshold. Libuše’s (“lih-BOO-sheh’s”) founding of this city was turned into an opera by a composer who also described how the Battle of (*) Marchfeld resulted in the death of a king from this city, Ottokar II. A later event in this city led to the scribe Philip Fabricius being granted the title “Baron of Highfall” by the emperor. Protestant pamphleteers claimed that the survivors of that event in this city fell into a dung heap. For 10 points, name this city where a “defenestration” kicked off the Thirty Years’ War. ■END■
