What makes Heroic Strife? Practical Jacobitism and its Burial at Culloden

This presentation examines the conflict between Jacobite ideology and practice

and the crossroads between them as exemplified on Culloden Moor in April of 1746. Was it only the hopes of a Stuart restoration that died with the hundreds of Jacobite soldiers on that bleak spring day, or something far greater? Comparing the myths and realities of popular Jacobitism using the latest research on motivational agencies of the numerous Jacobite causes, this lecture explores the experience of the common soldier against the backdrop of a calamitous civil war.
