Description
THE Battle of Culloden, one of Scotland’s most famous historic conflicts, was the climax of a decades-long battle to install the descendants of the House of Stuarts to the British throne.
It was the last of a series of rebellions, known as the Jacobite Risings, that began shortly after King James II of England (known as James VII in Scotland), a Roman Catholic Stuart, was deposed in 1688.Forces led by Charles Edward Stuart - better known as Bonnie Prince Charlie - led the Jacobites, comprised mainly of Highland clansmen, into battle in 1746 against forces spearheaded by William Augustus, Duke of Cumberland on a moor near Inverness.
The Duke of Cumberland, fighting for the House of Hanover (a dynasty which ruled the British Isles until the death of Queen Victoria in 1901), gathered troops from England as well as some Scottish Lowlanders and Highlanders. Hessians from Germany and Austria formed the remainder of the Hanoverian forces.The battle ended within the hour: the Jacobite forces, with the wind and rain against them, succumbed to the government’s army. Jacobite casualties are estimated to have been between 1,500 and 2,000, while only 50 deaths and 239 wounded were recorded on the opposing side.
