Charles Edward Stuart leads the Jacobite cause as claimant to the British throne and heir to the Stuart dynasty. Grandson of James II, he rallies Highland clans against Hanoverian rule in the 1745-46 rising, achieving early victories through charisma before Culloden's defeat forces his flight. Loyalists like Clan McLaren hide his standard and shield his escape, evading relentless English pursuit. Bold yet impulsive, his self-preservation abandons supporters to reprisals, fueling both devotion and resentment in Scottish ranks.
