WATCH: Reminiscences of a Jacobite talk as Prince Charles Edward Stuart comes back under the spotlight
A TALK given earlier this month to mark the 275th anniversary of the Jacobite Council of War at Derby – regarded as a turning point of the rising of 1745 – has been uploaded by Birlinn, publishers of Reminiscences of a Jacobite, on their YouTube channel.
It comprises an introduction by author Michael J. Nevin followed by a 20 minute question and answer session by what he describes as "a very well-informed audience".
He said: "They posed a series of searching questions to test key elements of the case made in the book for a more balanced assessment of the character and career of perhaps the most controversial figure in British history, Prince Charles Edward Stuart, as we approach the tricentenary of his birth on Thursday, December 31, 2020."
Bonnie Prince Charlie was born on Hogmanay of 1720.
