Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fresh and insightful look at the final years of Prince Charles Stuart, the Jacobite pretender to the British throne, focusing on the aftermath of his ill-fated attempt to reclaim the crown in 1745. The author meticulously recounts the events leading up to the Battle of Culloden, a pivotal moment that effectively extinguished the hopes of the Stuart dynasty. The narrative delves into the Prince's flawed decision-making, the treachery of his own allies, and the merciless vengeance of the Duke of Cumberland, painting a vivid picture of the turmoil that followed the devastating defeat. The book further explores Charles's subsequent flight from Scotland and his life as a fugitive, examining the complexities of his relationship with his followers, his struggles to maintain his royal image in exile, and his ultimately tragic demise. The author challenges conventional interpretations of Charles's character, providing a nuanced and thought-provoking analysis of his personality and his impact on the course of Scottish and British history.
