This Jacobite
References site gives sources
of information in relation
to the 1745 Jacobite Rebellion.
It is not intended to convey
any opinion as to the political
history of the '45 Rebellion,
there are plenty of sites
already dealing with that
aspect of Jacobite history.
The object is to show,
through actual documents,
text and pictures what
the leading Jacobites of
the 1745 Rebellion were
really like. The descriptions
of the principal characters
including Bonnie Prince
Charlie, lists of prisoners
captured after the battle
of Culloden, summaries
of evidence from witnesses
at the trials of leading
Jacobites and named Hanoverian
spies make interesting
reading. Trial witnesses
are named and this, together
with the list of prisoners
makes a valuable source
for anyone researching
their Scottish genealogy
roots.
Also included are details
of the Manchester Regiment
who accompanied the Jacobites
on the march to Derby.
During the march there
was a considerable amount
of spying on the Jacobites
by captured Hanoverian
spies who were permitted
to stay with the Jacobite
army. Bonnie Prince Charlie
must have regretted being
lenient with some of these
spies as they gave evidence
at the Jacobite trials.
