The Jacobite rising of 1745 was the attempt by Charles Edward Stuart to regain the British throne
for the exiled House of Stuart. The rising occurred during the War of the Austrian Succession when
most of the British Army was on the European continent. Charles Edward Stuart, commonly known as
"Bonnie Prince Charlie" or "the Young Pretender", sailed to Scotland and raised the Jacobite standard
at Glenfinnan in the Scottish Highlands, where he was supported by a gathering of Highland clansmen.
The march south began with an initial victory at Prestonpans near Edinburgh. The Jacobite army, now in
bold spirits, marched onwards to Carlisle, over the border in England. When it reached Derby, some British
divisions were recalled from the Continent and the Jacobite army retreated north to Inverness where the last
battle on Scottish soil took place on a nearby moor at Culloden. The Battle of Culloden ended with the final
defeat of the Jacobite cause, and with Charles Edward Stuart fleeing with a price on his head, before finally
sailing to France. |
