From the very moment of his birth, in December 1720, Charles Edward Stuart was the great hope of the whole Jacobite Community, whose major goal was a Stuart restoration. He was the first-born of James Francis Stuart (1688-1766), himself son and heir of the exiled King James II of England and VII of Scotland, but despite this very promising start, his life was nothing but a bitterest existence. Why has such a poignant story disappeared in the background, behind the legend of Bonnie Prince Charlie?
