Jacobite rising of 1745

Okay, I'm gonna get through the complaints, basically the counter arguments to Fomenko's chronology and how he answers against those and then we'll wrap it up.

Here we have a cover of the Jacobites from the Jacobite Rising, the cover art on the left.

In the middle from 1650, a painting of a Barbary pirate.

And then on the right, a profile of a Barbary pirate identified as Barbarossa by Pietro della Vecchia.

Ben Nevis is the highest peak.

Glenfinnan is very popular for its historical significance of the Jacobite Rising, and also as a Harry Potter filming location.

So that's where you can see the Hogwarts Express go over the Glenfinnan Viaduct, the bridge.

And then there's also Loch Ness, which is the loch in Scotland with the largest volume of water.

A fortress there, in which French fleets could shelter safely, was like a shield for New France and a sword against New England.

In 1745, just before the outbreak of the Jacobite rebellion in Scotland, an army of New Englanders under Sir William Pepperell, with the assistance of Commodore Warren's fleet, had taken this fortress.

But at the Peace of Aix-la-Chapelle in 1748, when Wolfe had just come of age, it was given back to France.

Ten years later, when Wolfe went out to join the second army that was sent against it, the situation was extremely critical.

Brothers.

The Jacobite Rebellion was literally a conspiracy between the French and the Stuarts.

Well, 1688, Glorious Revolution, that was a proper

conspiracy.

[chuckles]

... periods of invasion and occupation by the forces of Oliver Cromwell, the beginnings of the Jacobite rebellion towards the end of the 17th century.

Those continue into the 18th century.

And in 1707, you also have parliamentary union between Scotland and England when Scotland loses its independent parliament.

in the wake of the-

Yeah

... 1745 Jacobite rebellion.

Yeah, which a- again is a very somber note to end on, but, um, it's kind of interesting, isn't it? What survives, what gets permeated, what people want to tell stories about.

That's very interesting.

The Monmouth Rebellion was quickly dealt with, as was another rebellion in Scotland that occurred at the same time, known as Argyll's Rising, led by the Earl of Argyll.

These two rebellions had been coordinated together, but neither of them were able to drum up enough volunteers in the end.

both the Duke of Monmouth and the Earl of Argyll were captured and executed.

James' descendants made attempts to get that throne back.

His son, the reported impostor James Francis Edward, became known as the Old Pretender.

He started a rebellion in 1715, the Jacobite Rising, and tried to restore the exiled Stuart dynasty.

He failed.
