A Short History of Scotland Chapter 30 - George I

from The Andrew Lang Library · host Andrew Lang

In which the chaotic and ill-fated Jacobite rising of 1715 unfolds with mismanagement, disunity, and missed opportunities under the hapless Earl of Mar and the wavering Prince James, set against the larger backdrop of shifting European alliances and court intrigues. The narrative gently traces the earnest though doomed efforts of Scottish clans, the eventual retreat of James, and the stirring birth of a future hope for the cause amidst the sorrowful realities of exile and political betrayal.
