Bonnie Prince Charlie Country and the 1745 Jacobite Rising

Más información sobre el libro

Charles Edward Stuart (1720-1788) was also known as the "Bonnie Prince Charlie". He is best remembered for his role in the 1745 rising; his defeat at Culloden in April 1746 effectively ended the Stuart cause, and subsequent attempts failed to materialize, such as a planned French invasion in 1759. His escape from Scotland after the uprising led to his portrayal as a romantic figure of heroic failure. Illustrated in color and black/white. 32p. Map. Chronology of the life of the prince. Famous Personalities series.
