Who won battle of culloden?

Answer 1

The British Government and the House of Hanover.

The Jacobite rebellion 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. It was finally brought to an effective end in the battle of Culloden in 1746. After Charles Edward Stuart's (Bonnie Prince Charlie) death his brother Henry and blood descendants have never asserted any claim.

Answer 2

The English, I'm afraid, under the Duke of Cumberland. This was a completely decisive battle and resulted in the entire subjection of the Highlands and the final failure of the Stuart dynasty.

Not English, British. This battle was British versus Highlanders and Dutch mercenaries.

Now we're getting into details, but OK. Both sides were British with continental elements. The Jacobite army included Scots, English (a small unit from Manchester), Irish and French. The British army was three-quarters English, with 3 battalions of Scots, a battalion from Northern Ireland, and Hessian and Austrian units.

The Dutch, who had been marching with the Government army of General Wade, had withdrawn 5 months earlier when French troops joined the Jacobites, as they were the former garrison of Tournai, liberated by their French captors but paroled not to fight against French troops.

So the British Government troops won Culloden.
