Why is this such a popular form of execution in Prague?

Prague is a beautiful city, but Vienna is probably better suited to be the capitol of a much, much bigger country.

>>585563
It is not. Only during the first defenestration were the people killed by being thrown out of a window. In the subsequent two (only one of those has entered popular history however), the people survived and/or were dead already.

It did.

The capital of the emperor's land was the capital, hence why most of the time it was Vienna.
