I had a friend whose ancestors hid Charlie from the king's troops when he was fleeing to Skye. They covered him in the hay. Since then, their family motto has been Over! Fork Over! From the time they forked the hay over Charlie to hide him.

I thought it was her, I am a direct descendent of her doing a little bit of research and chanced upon this. Quite funny.

Perhaps Bonnie Charlies greatest tribute was musical. "Will Ye Nae Come Back Again" has to be one of the loveliest and most haunting songs I ever heard.

Charles is perhaps best known as the instigator of the unsuccessful Jacobite uprising of 1745, in which he led an insurrection to restore his family to the throne of the Kingdom of Great Britain, which ended in defeat at the Battle of Culloden that effectively ended the Jacobite cause.

Yep; both the French and British had warrants for his arrest. He had to hire his own ship, and his father in law basically shipped him off under the king's nose. He was only 19. He had a lot of fervor for the American cause, having been taught liberal ideals in school, and was a Mason like most of the founding fathers

This is so much funnier now that I’ve seen Outlander 😂

I absolutely love horrible histories forever 💙

Charles Edward Louis John Casimir Sylvester Severino Maria Stuart (31 December 1720 - 31 January 1788), commonly known in Britain during his lifetime as The Young Pretender, and often referred to in retrospective accounts as Bonnie Prince Charlie, was the second Jacobite pretender to the thrones of England, Scotland, and Ireland. This claim was as the eldest son of James Francis Edward Stuart, himself the son of James II of England.

Jim, Simon, Sarah & Lawry are the original HH casts who appeared in HH Season 6.

Scottish ancestry. And in that same poem, it supposedly said that he led an army to London, he talked to the french king in person, and it includes some episodes of doubtful accuracy before Wallace even enters history.

But Charles wasn't a Scot- (Edit) I worded this comment badly, the Stuart dynasty originated in Scotland and Charles had Scottish and English blood but he certainly would not have sounded like a Scot considering he grew up in exile in Italy.

The Stuart’s had their own court in Rome, it’s likely that he was Surrounded by exiled Scot’s from a young age so having him a light accent isn’t implausible

yes

Only, they weren't on the run with 30,000 pound bounties on their head, knowing that those who catch them are going to kill them in the most painful way humanly possible.

Charles's flight from Scotland after the uprising has rendered him a romantic figure of heroic failure in some later representations. In 1759 he was involved in a French plan to invade Britain which was abandoned following British naval victories.

hi

18th century aristocrats were rather nice to each other...they might have executed him, but it wouldn't have been painful...davy crockett, was executed by a mexican firing squad, when he tried to escape the alamo massacre...scots have a real tradition of cross dressing, 'cause william wallace did the same thing

davy crockett and edward hyde did the same thing

And got arrested and imprisoned by the Austrians anyway.

Actually, william wallace never did such. He wore the usual chainmail and armor. Mel gibson's braveheart was full of shit.

i got it from a 14th century poem GUDE WALLACE, by blind harry, not mel gibson...glasgow has more cross dressing clubs (3) than new york...rod stewart likes to wear his wife's underwear...eddie izzard publicly announced his cross dressing fetish in scotland...there's a much deeper significance to those kilts...are you scottish ?

The failure of the Jacobite cause ultimately condemned us to live in an oligarchical, usurious Babylon.

Do you know how little credible history was written of William Wallace? Mel Gibson's Braveheart had significant historical accuracy, as much as could be had, and still made it entertaining. It's not a documentary, but it's not 'full of shit' as you claim it to be.
