Kybett spent 15 years in intensive study of the Stuart Papers, thousands of letters and documents, the bulk of which have been virtually untapped by other researchers. Her book contains more new information on the subject than any book published since 1900. 15 black-and-white photos. Kybett was granted access to the Stuart papers, which contain information on exiled King James II of Great Britain and Ireland, grandfather of Charles, the Young Pretender. Born in 1720, Charlie was a traitor to the Highland Scots who fought to make him king, displacing the usurping Hanover. Although other historians have been equally judgmental of the cowardly prince, who deserted his partisans at the Battle of Culloden, few express the anger of Kybett, a native Scot, particularly in describing the fate of the loyal Highlanders. The biography succeeds in illuminating the 18th century as affected by the Young Pretender who died in 1788 with few to mourn him. Charles Edward Louis John Casimir Sylvester Severino Maria Stuart (31 December 1720 - 31 January 1788) was the elder son of James Francis Edward Stuart, grandson of James II and VII and after 1766 the Stuart claimant to the throne of Great Britain. During his lifetime, he was also known as "The Young Pretender" or "The Young Chevalier" and in popular memory as "Bonnie Prince Charlie". He is best remembered for his role in the 1745 rising; defeat at Culloden in April 1746 effectively ended the Stuart cause and subsequent attempts such as a planned French invasion in 1759 failed to materialize.[His escape from Scotland after the uprising led him to be portrayed as a romantic figure of heroic failure in later representations.
