Charles Edward Stuart (1720-1788) in traditional Highland costume. Known as "The Young Pretender" or "The Young Chevalier" and in popular memory as "Bonnie Prince Charlie", he was grandson of James II and VII and after 1766 the Stuart claimant to the throne of Great Britain. He is best remembered for his role in the 1745 rising; his defeat at Culloden in April 1746 effectively ended the Stuart cause and his escape from Scotland after the uprising led him to be portrayed as a romantic figure of heroic failure.
