The Battle of Lomnice or Lomnice nad Lužnicí occurred on 9 November 1618, during the Bohemian period of the Thirty Years' War. It was fought between the Habsburg Roman Catholic army of Charles Bonaventure de Longueval, Count of Bucquoy, and the Protestant army of Jindřich Matyáš Thurn. On 23 May 1618, the Bohemian Protestant nobles defied their King Ferdinand, heir to Holy Roman Emperor Matthias, and threw the Roman Catholic governors of Bohemia from a window of their office at Prague Castle in an act which came to be known as the Defenestration of Prague. The new government, formed of Protestant nobility and Jindřich Matyáš Thurn, assumed command over the Bohemian Protestant forces. A Habsburg Roman Catholic army under the command of Charles Bonaventure de Longueval, Count of Bucquoy, was approaching Prague but a Protestant army stopped it near Čáslav for several weeks; subsequent problems with food supplies and illness forced Buqouy to withdraw. Later, when Bucquoy was on his way to reinforce, Count Thurn followed Bucquoy's army and forced a battle near the village of Lomnice nad Lužnicí in southern Bohemia.
