Summary

[edit]
Description

4 December marks the anniversary of Charles Edward Stuart's arrival in Derby with his invasion force in 1745. 'Bonnie Prince Charlie' was trying to overthrow the government and Hanoverian monarchy of the day and put himself on the throne instead, but having not picked up enough support, he decided to call a halt at Derby and turn back to Scotland. He was defeated at Culloden and ended up back in exile. This weekend, the Charles Edward Stuart Society held their traditional re-enactment of the event in the city, near to the statue of Charlie.

The renactors went to Jorrocks, on Irongate, later for a pint or many. Formerly the George, this is where the local militia met to decide how to combat Charles's army (most of them took flight to Retford, 50 miles away).
