Bonnie Prince Charlie is one of the best-known and romantic names
in Scottish and British history. As with so many legends, the truth
is often obscure and the debate continues to rage over questions of
his plans to become Charles III, his wish to make Britain a
Catholic country, the battle of Culloden, France's role in the '45
Rebellion, whether he ultimately proved to be a coward and how he
met his end. Few others have really explored Charles's motivations.
By tackling 12 of the most intriguing myths surrounding Bonnie
Prince Charlie, and revealing some little-known and astonishing
facts, this book casts new perspective on one of the most turbulent
times in Scottish and British history. Ten myths about Bonnie
Prince Charlie are explored and, through them, we discover why
Charles converted to the Church of England, who Charles's
mysterious wife was, why the Duke of Cumberland was not the most
ruthless man at Culloden, why Charles rejected the idea of an
independent Scotland and the real reason why Charles wanted to take
the British throne.
