Description
Culloden marked the end of the last and greatest of the Jacobite adventures the '45 Rebellion in which the Highland clans challenged the power of the Hanoverian King of England. It was at Culloden that Charles Edward Stuart (better known as 'Bonnie Prince Charlie)'s army was finally defeated. His tired Highlanders had little chance against the steady infantry and heavy artillery fire of the English. Peter Harrington examines all aspects of the battle, including its background, the earlier show more Highlander victories, the men and commanders of both sides, and the massacre that took place in its aftermath. show lessTags
