Our ancestor John Johnston (1) was born approximately 1722/42. The Battle of Culloden was fought on April 16, 1746, very close to when he was born. This was the battle that the Bonnie Prince Charlie lost to the English and English supporting clans. This was the defining battle that ended all hopes of the Stuart line of Kings, who had been banished to France some 40 years earlier, from regaining the English Crown. The Stuart line of Kings had Scottish blood lines. Bonnie Prince Charlie Stuart was trying to use Scotland as his base to regain the crown. Folks who supported him were called Jacobites. But, the effect of this battle wasn't just the loss of the Stuart's bid for the crown. The English winning this battle gave the English the opportunity to crush the life of many of the Scottish clans in the days, months, and years afterwards, changing the history of Scotland. This web site, Battle of Culloden, covers a lot of the bases about the background of Bonnie Prince Charlie, the Jacobites, and the Battle of Culloden, and its aftereffects. Then, this site will fill in all the holes of whatever that site doesn't cover: Culloden.
