Frederick V (German: Friedrich V.) (16 August 1596 – 5 December 1632) was Elector Palatine (1610–23), and, as Frederick I (Czech: Fridrich Falcký), King of Bohemia (1619–20); for his short reign he is often nicknamed the Winter King (Czech: Zimní král; German: Winterkönig).

From 1622 until his death in 1632, he lived in exile with his wife and family.

Frederick V, Elector Palatine in 1632[]

Between the "butterfly effect" caused by Grantville's arrival and the effect of American involvement on the course of the Thirty Years' War in 1632, it can be assumed that the last year or two of Frederick V's life was somewhat different to his OTL life. He did die in 1632 but under different circumstances. Frederick contracted a fever on November 29, 1632, having slipped and fell on ice, and spent a week resting in bed at the prescription of his doctor, dying of pneumonia on December 5, 1632.[1]
