Charles Edward Stuart (also known as Bonnie Prince Charlie and The Young Pretender) was the leader of the Jacobites.
No. They were a result of the argument over who was to be on the English throne in the 1700's. The Jacobites were mainly Scots who supported Bonnie Prince Charles for the throne.
No. Jacobites are not a religion. They were people who wanted Bonny Prince Charlie to be king. The Jacobites got there name because they first were people who wanted a man called King James to be King. People who didn't want this sent the Jacobites of to France. In France they called people called James Jacob. The Latin word for Jacob is Jacobite
Charlie was known as the "Young Pretender" as he was the Son of James "the III and VIII" who was the "Old Pretender" and a Polish noble woman who was related to the Kings of Poland, "Maria Clementina Sobieska". Charles was the Grandson of James the II and VII who had been deposed during the "Glorious Revolution".
There is a misunderstanding from the questioner. The battle of Culloden was fought between the British government and Jacobites. The Jacobites wanted to place Prince Charles Edward Stuart on the throne of Great Britain.
Highlanders named common ragwort Stinking Billy after William Duke of Cumberland put down Bonnie Prince Charlies rebellion at the battle of Culloden 1746. The English named the garden flower Sweet William in his honor.
Bonnie Prince Charlie (Charles Edward Stuart) died in 1788.
