Celtic Moment

The Spirit of Celtic Track from CD: www.charlieandthebhoys.co.uk

Prince Charles Edward Stuart, “the Young Pretender”, “Bonnie Prince Charlie” etc was the grandson of the deposed King James II. In 1745 he led the last major Jacobite uprising against the House of Hanover. Landing in Scotland he rallied the highland clans and won several stunning victories. Against all odds he advanced almost to London but turned and retreated to Scotland. His army was wiped out at the battle of Culloden and the prince spent the rest of his life in sorrowful exile.

This is a rather vague question. I read multiple novels at one point, all covering different aspects of this time period–I just want everything to make sense. I understand Henry VIII and his wives, how the boy king Edward ruled for a few shaky years, how bloody Mary took the throne and tried to reestablish Catholicism, and how Elizabeth eventually gained the throne and brought stability and prosperity to England for years.

Then I hit a gray area. I know something about King James and then something happened to him to unseat him from the throne, and how his son, Bonnie Prince Charlie, tried to regain twice, circa 1718 and 1745 with the help of Highland clans and French support that never actually showed.

If someone could help clarify the details of what was going on in Britain and France and Rome during this time period, I would appreciate it. I’m going to award a best answer if someone explains it well enough.
