Charles Edward Stuart (31 December 1720 - 31 January 1788), was
commonly known in Britain during his lifetime as The Young
Pretender, and Bonnie Prince Charlie. He was the second Jacobite
pretender to the thrones of England, Scotland, and Ireland. He was
born in Italy and was the eldest son of James Francis Edward
Stuart, who was the son of James II of England. Charles instigated
the unsuccessful Jacobite uprising of 1745, in which he led an
insurrection to restore his family to the throne of the Great
Britain, which ended in defeat at the Battle of Culloden. That
battle that ended the Jacobite cause. 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.
