that the 18th Century adherents to the Stewart Cause adopted the designation "Jacobites" from "Jacobus," Latin for "James," the name of their exiled King?

that James III (VIII of Scotland), the "Old Pretender," was actually persuaded into the 1715 "Rising" with reluctance; and was of such a solemn mien that he seemed to repel his followers rather than attract and encourage them? Later he came to appreciate his heritage, and, in hopes of winning his throne, engaged in one intrigue after another, none of which were successful.

 that Prince Charles Edward Stewart, (Bonnie Prince Charlie),was not attempting to take the Scottish Throne for himself during the "Rising of 1745," but to wrest it from the German House of Hanover, under George II for his father, exiled King James VIII?
 

that Prince Charles Edward's life is said to have been saved after the Battle of Culloden when the English delayed their pursuit of him, thinking him already dead? One of Charles' dedicated followers, Roderick MacKenzie, aware of his own striking resemblance to his Stewart Prince, when stabbed by Cumberland's English soldiers on orders to give "no quarter to the wounded or captured Scots, exclaimed with his dying breath: "You have killed your Prince!" Believing him, the soldiers beheaded him on the spot, and the head was identified as that of Prince Charles. This temporarily relaxed the hunt for Charles, allowing him to make his initial escape, and giving him a head start for the Highlands.

 that one of the traditions associated with the aftermath of the Battle of Culloden had its ending in Canada? A badly injured Highlander resting against a dyke (dry-stone wall) at the edge of the battle-field was spotted by some of Cumberland's troops who were, at his orders, clubbing and bayonetting the wounded Scots. General Hawley approached and asked his name: "Fraser of Inverlochy." "To whom do you belong?" "To the Prince!" retorted the courageous Scot. "Shoot the dog!" ordered Hawley to his aide-de-camp. Surprisingly the aide balked: "My commission is at your disposal, sir, but I will not shoot this man!" Hawley then ordered a trooper to carry out the "execution." Thirteen years later, the defiant aide-de-camp had risen in rank to become the brilliant General James Wolf who commanded the English troops at the capture of Quebec during the French and Indian War. Mortally wounded on the Plains of Abraham above Quebec, tradition claims he died in the arms of a Fraser of Lovat.

 that although Flora MacDonald's step-father was a captain in the service of King George II and duty-bound with his men to hunt down Prince Charles, it was actually he who deliberately made out and signed the pass needed by Charles, by Flora, and by Neil MacEachain, their guide, to carry them past unsuspecting troops to safety?

that Hugh Chisholm, one of Prince Charles' faithful Highlanders, having received a hand-shake from the Prince before his departure for France, made a vow, which he religiously kept, that his right hand should never be offered to another?

 that in spite of romantic legend, there is no evidence whatsoever that Bonnie Prince Charlie and Flora MacDonald, who aided in rescuing him from his English pursuers, were ever sweethearts?

 that Prince Charles Edward Stewart's defeat at Culloden and subsequent death in 1788, ended forever the House of Stewart's direct line to the Scottish and English thrones?

that according to that master of Scots' tale telling, Sir Walter Scott, Peter MacAlpin, the bell-ringer of Edinburgh, was dismissed from his position for daring to play the forbidden Jacobite song, "Over the Water to Charlie" at high noon some years following the '45, while Scotland was still being carefully watched by England for further signs of sedition?

 that by the beginning of the 20th Century, the foundation of every Royal House in Europe, with the exception of Turkey and Servia, could be traced back to Mary Queen of Scots?
