Story of the Jacobite Rebellion

Описание: Hello! :D

Something a touch more personal in this video, as my ancestors fought at the Battle of Culloden Muir, though were unfortunately on the losing side.

Regardless, the Battle of Culloden was the culmination of nearly a half-century of sporadic fighting between Scottish rebels and the newly established government of the United Kingdom, as factions loyal to the House of Stuart sought to return their Scottish king to the English throne following his overthrow in 1688 by the Dutch-backed army of William of Orange and Queen Mary.

The result was a prolonged series of clashes supported by various foreign powers out of convenience and distraction during wider European wars, the Jacobites gaining some surprising victories, but were ultimately unable to regain the British throne due to a lack of resources and political will.
