Jacobite Rising
The Jacobite Rising refers to a series of uprisings in Great Britain during the 17th and 18th centuries, aimed at restoring the Stuart monarchy to the throne. The most notable of these was the Jacobite Rising of 1745, led by Charles Edward Stuart, also known as "Bonnie Prince Charlie." The movement sought to reclaim the crown for his father, James Francis Edward Stuart, who was deposed in the Glorious Revolution of 1688.
The 1745 uprising began in Scotland and gained initial support, capturing key locations like Edinburgh. However, it ultimately faced defeat at the Battle of Culloden in 1746, marking the end of the Jacobite cause. The aftermath led to harsh reprisals
