jan 1, 1746 - Bonnie Prince Charlie

Description:

France and Britain are openly hostile during the War of Austrian Succession, and France has approved an attempt by British emigres to return the descendants of James II (House of Stuart) to the English throne, overturning the Glorius Revolution of 1688. This, to be known as the Jacobite risings, has been raging since 1745 and ends in defeat on April 16, at the Battle of Colloden in Scotland. The British lose 50 killed, the Jacobites lose from 1500 to 2000 killed or wounded. The Jacobite force had been poorly led by the Stuart pretender, Charles Edward Stuart, "Bonnie Prince Charlie," 26. He managed to escape back to France.
