	Historic Highlanders - Bonnie Prince Charlie - Devil
		Was Bonnie Prince Charlie a devil who caused the death of the Scottish clan system which had lasted for many centuries, or was he a catalyst for freezing in time a rich cultural heritage, which is today, held dear by millions of expatriate Scots around the world?.
		Prince Charles grew up in this atmosphere of scheming and plotting, and, ultimately, became the pawn of many divergent interests which culminated in the final attempt to regain the throne in 1745/46 now known as the "45".
		Perhaps Bonnie Prince Charlie was the catalyst for locking in time the glory of the Scotland of our ancestors to be passed down, in story and song, to a people who were forced to migrate to the ends of the earth.

		Alongside the story of the Prince's flight, thematic panels depict particular aspects of the Stuart story: Culloden, the last battle to be fought on British soil; Clan Donald and Prince Charlie; Flora MacDonald; France and the '45; The Royal House of Stewart.

	Prince Charles Edward Stewart, 'Bonnie Prince Charlie' 1720-1788

		Ironically, in 1819, the Prince Regent of Great Britain (soon to be George IV) commissioned the famous sculptor, Canova, to erect a stately marble monument to Charles, his father and grandfather at St Peters in Rome.

	FirstFoot - Debunking the Scotch Myth - Bonnie Prince Charlie
		The romantic myth of the "Young Pretender" as a heroic and wronged Prince, adventuring against the evil usurpers to claim the throne that was rightfully his Father's, is frankly a lot of bollocks and belongs on the side of oatcake tins rather than in the annals of history.
		Charlie ignored all the warnings and all the evidence and pressed on regardless.
		The Chiefs knew that they were committing suicide, but, unable to convince the Prince of his folly, rallied to his Standard regardless.

		Prince Charles Edward Stuart, the Young Pretender, having overcome the doubts of some of his own commanders, marched south from Derby to confront the hastily mustered Hanoverian army under the direct command of George II.
		It is the most peculiar consequence of the author's determination to sever the military from the political - a separation that the unfolding, and especially the failure, of the rebellion belies.
		Johnson even slept in the same bed that the Pretender or Prince (take your pick) had occupied, and his comment on the fact was, fittingly, a joke ('I have had no ambitious thoughts in it').

	The Battle of Culloden Moor, Scotland, 1746
		It is very easy to romanticise the Jacobite Rebellion and it's leader, Bonnie Prince Charlie The Victorians loved these tales, and over the years the reality of the cause and it's outcome became rather clouded and misrepresented.
		Bonnie Prince Charlie, born in Italy and brought up in France, had never been to Scotland, had no military experience and quite obviously was not interested in Scotland or the Scottish throne.
		Had he gained the support of all the highland clans, it is widely recognised that he would have access to nearly 50,000 fighting men, not 5000.

		The main protagonists were Prince Charles Edward Stuart (or Bonnie Prince Charlie as he was then known, though he would quickly lose those two epithets), his Irish Quartermaster General John William O'Sullivan and the rebels' most senior soldier, Lord George Murray.
		The prince and the sycophantic O'Sullivan insisted that the army needed a guaranteed supply of food.
		Suddenly alone, faced by the wrath of Murray and the glaring eyes of the other chieftains who knew the general was right but had not had the courage to speak up, Bonnie Prince Charlie did something entirely out of character for a Stuart monarch.

	Bonnie Prince Charlie
		Prince Charles Edward Stuart, the ‘Young Pretender’, or as he is perhaps better known to posterity, ‘Bonnie Prince Charlie’ was the son of James Stuart, the ‘Old Pretender’, and grandson of the exiled King James II.
		As such he was heir to the Jacobite claim to the thrones of Britain, and his ambition to try and recover these for his family, and latterly himself, were to dominate his life.
		As he grew older his interest in warfare developed, he spent his early teens building model fortifications, and in 1734 the 14 year old prince was taken by his tutor to visit the Spanish forces besieging the city of Gaeta.

		Prince Charlie's subsequent adventures in France and Italy, until his eventual death in Rome over 40 years later, are also covered.
		However, the reader is soon moved into those areas we are all familiar with about the life of the Prince and his association with the Scottish Highlands.
		It displays a personality fault of the Prince hitherto perhaps unknown, a side that displays a personal pride, of indifference to his advisors and an inability to accept responsibility.

	Where is Bonnie Prince Charlie Buried?
		The last of the three Royal Stuarts are buried here, the Old and New Pretender, father and son, kings in their own right, as well as Cardinal York, Charlie’s younger brother Henry, who turned to the church instead of the battlefield.
		It is almost as if Charlie was desperate to win his father’s approval and, to do so, he was possessed by an obsession to take back what belonged to his father, the throne of England.
		Evidently he was his father’s favorite, as evidenced by a comment to a friend, “I really am in love with the little Duke, he is the finest child that can be seen.” Some historians say their personalities were very much alike.
