The history of the region (Moravia) in this period is indeed marked by lots of religious unrest.
"When the Anabaptists were expelled (1622), and the country became depopulated during the Thirty Years' War (1618–48), the Jews took over new economic areas and were also permitted to acquire houses formerly occupied by "heretics.""
So this was a period of migration, of expulsion and influx of different religious groups. That our confiscating duo was active during this time is fascinating. If these two are really M&B (or only one of them), I could imagine some of the more interesting books sticking to their fingers...
