Horrible Histories Bonnie Prince Charlie

[@wfcoaker1398]

I had a friend whose ancestors hid Charlie from the king's troops when he was fleeing to Skye. They covered him in the hay. Since then, their family motto has been Over! Fork Over! From the time they forked the hay over Charlie to hide him.

[@af98]

That's amazing.

[@unknown-p3i]

A lot of people's ancestry is so impressive

[@TomFynn]

So they really did fork him over.

[@achanwahn]

Lawry is so underrated. He's just brilliant!

[@sarahluvs2sing166]

Me too, I adore him!

[@xmaivu5363]

Ewan Fawkes The actor in this sketch is Lawry, the Bob Hale actor is Larry. Two different people =))

Lawry also played as Oliver Cromwell in the English Civil War song

[@honkstheclown8631]

​@@ewanfawkes2708... There's never a song for Lawry :(

[@Buffycomics]

The name of this woman who aided Prince Charlie was Flora MacDonald (for some it wasn't mention in the video).

[@plamenivanov92]

She was from the same clan as Ranald Mc Donald a Jacobite comander

[@hisheroship]

I thought it was her, I am a direct descendent of her doing a little bit of research and chanced upon this. Quite funny.

[@torhildsagenghansen6074]

"Speed, bonnie boat, like a bird under wing, onward the seamen cry! Carry the lad who is born to be king over the sea to Skye."

[@NoName-vm9be]

Wow that song brings back so many memories (we used to sing that in our primary school choir)

[@tomjeffersonwasright2288]

Perhaps Bonnie Charlies greatest tribute was musical. "Will Ye Nae Come Back Again" has to be one of the loveliest and most haunting songs I ever heard.

[@SuperGreatSphinx]

Charles is perhaps best known as the instigator of the unsuccessful Jacobite uprising of 1745, in which he led an insurrection to restore his family to the throne of the Kingdom of Great Britain, which ended in defeat at the Battle of Culloden that effectively ended the Jacobite cause.

[@thomasmccaghrey9888]

It also led to the destruction of the Scottish clan system in an event known as the highlands clearing

[@janetalee443]

I absolutely love horrible histories forever 💙

You know, General Lafayette did the same thing to get out of France.

Shaaf ali khan yep!

[@Tareltonlives]

Yep; both the French and British had warrants for his arrest. He had to hire his own ship, and his father in law basically shipped him off under the king's nose. He was only 19. He had a lot of fervor for the American cause, having been taught liberal ideals in school, and was a Mason like most of the founding fathers

[@Yoginawa]

Jim, Simon, Sarah & Lawry are the original HH casts who appeared in HH Season 6.

[@kjam9085]

I only know him from the intro song of outlander, the sky boat

[@SuperGreatSphinx]

Charles Edward Louis John Casimir Sylvester Severino Maria Stuart (31 December 1720 - 31 January 1788), commonly known in Britain during his lifetime as The Young Pretender, and often referred to in retrospective accounts as Bonnie Prince Charlie, was the second Jacobite pretender to the thrones of England, Scotland, and Ireland. This claim was as the eldest son of James Francis Edward Stuart, himself the son of James II of England.

Scottish ancestry. And in that same poem, it supposedly said that he led an army to London, he talked to the french king in person, and it includes some episodes of doubtful accuracy before Wallace even enters history.

[@lordcharlesthomas]

But Charles wasn't a Scot- (Edit) I worded this comment badly, the Stuart dynasty originated in Scotland and Charles had Scottish and English blood but he certainly would not have sounded like a Scot considering he grew up in exile in Italy.

[@htoodoh5770]

He had enough Scottish blood

[@Realisticallyliteral]

She was though.

[@ce1834]

The Jacobites are completely German now, the heads of the ruling house of Bavaria 😂

[@globe0147]

The Stuart’s had their own court in Rome, it’s likely that he was Surrounded by exiled Scot’s from a young age so having him a light accent isn’t implausible

[@SuperGreatSphinx]

Charles's flight from Scotland after the uprising has rendered him a romantic figure of heroic failure in some later representations. In 1759 he was involved in a French plan to invade Britain which was abandoned following British naval victories.

[@jethro035181]

18th century aristocrats were rather nice to each other...they might have executed him, but it wouldn't have been painful...davy crockett, was executed by a mexican firing squad, when he tried to escape the alamo massacre...scots have a real tradition of cross dressing, 'cause william wallace did the same thing

[@jmurdock8303]

He did it to put his father on the throne not him

[@SentientHairBall]

It's alright Charlie, your Granddaddy James II and his brother Charles II had to disguise themselves as common girls to escape England after the English Civil War. Runs in the family!

[@crabsy6452]

Only, they weren't on the run with 30,000 pound bounties on their head, knowing that those who catch them are going to kill them in the most painful way humanly possible.

His first language was Polish

I think she just made him a maid to make him work for her -.- sneaky!

[@mick5137]

The failure of the Jacobite cause ultimately condemned us to live in an oligarchical, usurious Babylon.

[@MrFishman55]

Actually, william wallace never did such. He wore the usual chainmail and armor. Mel gibson's braveheart was full of shit.

since harry was blind, and very little is known about wallace, it could have happened...my point is that scotland has an eccentric history, with people like christie creek, sawney bean and guys like burke and hare...cross dressing wasn't your only national quirk...so which brand of lingerie do you favour, victoria's secret or fredricks of hollywood ?

season 5?

[@SherlockHolmes000]

Do you know how little credible history was written of William Wallace? Mel Gibson's Braveheart had significant historical accuracy, as much as could be had, and still made it entertaining. It's not a documentary, but it's not 'full of shit' as you claim it to be.

[@Sarah-fp9oc]

Brave Hearts a decent movie the best part was visiting Trim Castle, in Ireland and seeing where Mel Gibson was executed. Seems odd a Scottish historical film was filmed in Ireland. Lol 😆. Then the Scotti were Irish.

[@jeffreybernstein3628]

Omg yes it is. It's full of inaccuracies and the director himself said so.
