269This index is in five sections. Wallenstein himself is indexed chronologically
in the first and more generally in the second. The third comprises named
individuals, the fourth covers other subjects, and the fifth gives the modern
names of places in former Habsburg territories. In the ‘people’ section titles are
shown only for those above the rank of count. Wallenstein’s relatives appear
with the spelling ‘Waldstein’, while Emperor Ferdinand II is not indexed (other
than in connection with his sons), as he is referred to throughout the book.Index
