It was the final Battle of the Jacobite rebellions taking place at Drommossie Moor more commonly known as Culloden in 1746 and was a comprehensive defeat for the Jacobite cause by the Government ending it effectively forever. After evading government forces Bonnie Prince Charlie fled from Scotland never to return and after Charles's death his younger brother Henry recognised George III and his descendants as the legitimate heirs. The Jacobite cause which was the support of the Stuart claim to the throne believing that James II and VII and his heirs was the legitimate King of England and Scotland (or Great Britain after 1707) which led to risings lasting from 1688 to 1746. The major ones in 1715 and 1745. The Jacobites had some success in various battles and in fact were fairly successful in the 1745 rising until it's final defeat. The Government brought back regular units from the continent and these proved a match for the Jacobite forces who themselves had been reinforced by units from the French Army (mostly units originating from Scott's and Irish exiles with some French officers - Royal Ecossois etc). The battle is often portrayed as modern weaponry destroying the "barbarian clan charge". The Government and Whig historians had a hand in this version as it belittled the threat and minimised the risk publicly and success the Jacobites had. The Jacobites also bought into this to explain their utter failure at Culloden, losing badly in a matter of hours. Even to this day the new centre at Culloden portrays the Highland charge as the only weapon the Jacobites used. The truth is it's units were as well trained as any of the day, many officers had served in the European armies and training and drills similar to other armies of the day on the continent were undertaken. The Jacobite army was composed of Highland, Lowland, English (e.g. the Manchester Regiment which didn't fight at Culloden) and French forces and the Government forces Highland, Lowland, English and a small number of Hanoverians After the battle 2,000 muskets were recovered from the battlefield and as several units had fought a fighting retreat from Culloden weapons intact this suggests the majority were armed in this way. By comparison only a few hundred swords were recovered. The artillery numbers also don't tally with traditional stories, the Jacobite guns were supposed to number about 12 but over 30 were captured after the battle. Around 1,500 Jacobite casualties occurred
