Acclaimed military historian Dr Christophe­r Duffy explains the importance of the events surroundin­g the ‘45 Rising, when, in July 1745, Prince Charles and his tiny Jacobite army arrived in Scotland with little support; yet within five months they were able to lead a march to London, which made King George II fear for his throne. This underdog tale has gripped the imaginatio­n of the nation for centuries and continues to do so today.
