Prince Charles Edward Stuart
Prince Charlie, born
Charles Edward Louis John Casimir Sylvester Severino Maria Stuart
on 31st December 1720. He is commonly known in Britain
as The Young Pretender and The Young Chevalier. He is best known as
the instigator of the unsuccessful Jacobite uprising of 1745. The
Jacobites supported the Stuart claim to the Scottish throne due to
hopes for religious toleration for Roman Catholics and a belief in
the divine right of kings. The uprising ended at the Battle of
Culloden which effectively ended the Jacobite cause.
