Note

He was called The Young Pretender, The Young Chevalier, and Bonnie Prince Charlie, claimant to the British throne who led the Scottish Highland army in the Forty-five Rebellion. In 1744, after his father had obtained the support of the French government for a projected invasion of England, Charles Edward went to France to assume command of the French expeditionary forces. Unfavorable weather and the mobilization of apowerful British fleet to oppose the invasion led to cancellation of the plan by the French government. Charles Edward persisted in his determination to drive George II from the British throne, However, and in 1745 he arrived in Scotland, wherea number of Highland clans came to his assistance. He took Edinburgh, defeated a British force at Prestonpans, and advanced as far south as Derby, England, before being forced to retreat. In April 1746, However, his forces were utterly routed atCulloden Moor. He was Hunted as a fugitive for More than five months, but the Highlanders never betrayed him, and he escaped to France in September 1746. Two years later he was expelled from that country in accordance with one of the provisionsof the second Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle (1748), which stipulated that all members of the house of Stuart were to be driven from France. For a number of years Charles Edward wandered about Europe. Secretly visiting London in 1750 and in 1754, heattempted without success on both occasions to win support for his cause. In 1766, on his father's Death, Charles Edward returned to Italy, where he spent his last years. |
