Unfortunately, he was never to possess what he coveted most: the British throne. Moray McLaren's compassionate biography of the descendant of Mary, Queen of Scots, records his attempt to wear the crown his unlucky ancestress had desired so fiercely. Born in Rome in 1720 and brought up in an atmosphere of Jacobite intrigue at the exiled court of his father, James III, Charles Louis Philip Sylvester Casimir Maria was the heir to the Stuart hopes to regain the British Crown. Some twenty~hree years later, the dream seemed on the brink of realization. In 1744 Charles left Rome to solicit aid for his cause from France. Two years later, without substantial help from the French he finally landed on the shores of his "homeland," Scotland. Once there, the twenty~five year~old prince quickly won his famous nickname, along with the respect and support of the Highlanders. Before long he was advancing into England at the head of an army. While all was not peaceful in the ranks of the notoriously independent clansmen, the Stuart forces won bloodless victories that took them into the heart of England, just three days' march from London. But their success was short~lived. The undisciplined Scots were soon forced to retreat to home ground, morale plummeted, and Charles's men were decisively defeated at Culloden. Charles's subsequent wanderings with his loyal Highlanders, his many narrow escapes from the pursuing British, and his humiliating return to the Continent are sympathetically chronicled here. When he sailed from Scotland for France, the Bonnie Prince Charlie of legend and poetry sailed, in effect, out of most history hooks. The long period of frustration that followed his departure from Scotland was marked by unsuccessful attempts to marshal his forces and unhappy episodes of ridicule. His personal life was equally unrewarding. Both his affair with Clementina Walkinshaw and his marriage to Louise, Princess of Stolberg ended in disaster. He died in the arms of his illegitimate daughter, an old, used man still dreaming of Scotland. The Stuart cause died with him. Codice articolo 4162002

Descrizione libro Hardcover. Condizione: Very good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very good. First Printing (stated). Includes bibliography and index. Gift inscription "Merry Xmas 1990 to mother with love from Mark" written in black ink at top corner of front free endpaper. Book contains several footnotes. Moray David Shaw McLaren (1901-1971) was a Scottish writer and broadcasting executive. He was educated at Merchiston Castle School and Corpus Christi College, Cambridge. He worked as assistant editor on the London Mercury, before joining the staff of the British Broadcasting Corporation, where he was assistant editor of The Listener in 1929. McLaren moved back to Scotland in 1930 as a BBC Scottish Region radio executive. He announced his interest in Scottish nationalism in 1931 by supporting George Malcolm Thomson's pamphlet The Kingdom of Scotland Restored. He originated a series on Scottish forensic oratory, from which John Gough's trial drama on Madeleine Smith originated. McLaren during World War II was involved in the Polish section of the Political Warfare Executive. The author's compassionate biography of Bonnie Prince Charlie, the descendant of Mary, Queen of Scots, records Charles's attempt to wear the crown his unlucky ancestress had desired so fiercely. After several bloodless victories that brought the Stuart forces into the heart of England (just three days' march from London) the undisciplined Scots were soon forced to retreat to home ground, morale plummeted, and Charles's men were decisively defeated at Culloden. The author sympathetically chronicles Charles's subsequent wanderings with his loyal Highlanders, his many narrow escapes from the pursuing British, and his humiliating return to the Continent.
