  • Author : Jacqueline Riding

  • ISBN : 1608198049
  • Pages : 609 pages

Download or read book Jacobites written by Jacqueline Riding and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2016-07-05 with total page 609 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dramatic story of Bonnie Prince Charlie and his quixotic attempt to regain the throne of England. The Jacobite Rebellion of 1745-46 is one of the most important turning points in British history--in terms of national crisis every bit the equal of 1066 and 1940. The tale of Charles Edward Stuart, "Bonnie Prince Charlie," and his heroic attempt to regain his grandfather's (James II) crown--remains the stuff of legend: the hunted fugitive, Flora MacDonald, and the dramatic escape over the sea to the Isle of Skye. But the full story--the real history--is even more dramatic, captivating, and revelatory. Much more than a single rebellion, the events of 1745 were part of an ongoing civil war that threatened to destabilize the British nation and its empire. The Bonnie Prince and his army alone, which included a large contingent of Scottish highlanders, could not have posed a great threat. But with the involvement of Britain's perennial enemy, Catholic France, it was a far more dangerous and potentially catastrophic situation for the British crown. With encouragement and support from Louis XV, Charles's triumphant Jacobite army advanced all the way to Derby, a mere 120 miles from London, before a series of missteps ultimately doomed the rebellion to crushing defeat and annihilation at Culloden in April 1746--the last battle ever fought on British soil. Jacqueline Riding conveys the full weight of these monumental years of English and Scottish history as the future course of Great Britain as a united nation was irreversibly altered.

Book The Scottish Jacobite Army 1745   46

Download or read book The Scottish Jacobite Army 1745 46 written by Stuart Reid and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2012-05-20 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most celebrated moments in Scottish history, the Jacobite Rising of 1745 is often romanticized. Drawing on the work of historians and a wide range of contemporary sources, Culloden expert Stuart Reid strips away the myths surrounding the events of the campaign, revealing some of the lesser known and fascinating truths about the Rising. Illustrated with contemporary sketches and meticulous full-colour reconstructions of dress and equipment, the raising of Prince Charles Edward Stuart's army is examined in detail from its organization in regiments and their command system, to its weapons, tactical strengths and weaknesses.

Book 1715

    Book Details:
  • Author : Daniel Szechi
  • Publisher : Yale University Press
  • Release : 2006-01-01
  • ISBN : 9780300111002
  • Pages : 388 pages

Download or read book 1715 written by Daniel Szechi and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lacking the romantic imagery of the 1745 uprising of supporters of Bonnie Prince Charlie, the Jacobite rebellion of 1715 has received far less attention from scholars. Yet the ’15, just eight years after the union of England and Scotland, was in fact a more significant threat to the British state. This book is the first thorough account of the Jacobite rebellion that might have killed the Act of Union in its infancy. Drawing on a substantial range of fresh primary resources in England, Scotland, and France, Daniel Szechi analyzes not only large and dramatic moments of the rebellion but also the smaller risings that took place throughout Scotland and northern England. He examines the complex reasons that led some men to rebel and others to stay at home, and he reappraises the economic, religious, social, and political circumstances that precipitated a Jacobite rising. Shedding new light on the inner world of the Jacobites, Szechi reveals the surprising significance of their widely supported but ultimately doomed rebellion.

Book Bonnie Prince Charlie

    Book Details:
  • Author : Susan Maclean Kybett
  • Publisher : Routledge
  • Release : 2021-10-12
  • ISBN : 1000442292
  • Pages : 263 pages

Download or read book Bonnie Prince Charlie written by Susan Maclean Kybett and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-10-12 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1988, this biography was the result of 15 years research, including unearthing 70,000 letters and documents among the Stuart Papers which had hitherto lain largely untapped. Written in many different languages, some were damaged, written in code, or unsigned and undated. Deciphering them therefore made it possible to gain a new level of insight into Bonnie Prince Charlie as a man, his relationship with his exiled father, the role played by France and the true nature of the events leading up to the bloody campaign of 1745 in which he attempted to win back the throne of his ancestors.
