Описание: Ambassador Francis Martin O’Donnell explores the fascinating history of his forbearers in this comprehensive study. The Elizabethan conquest of Ireland in the early 1600s extinguished the rule of the O’Donnells of Tyrconnell (Tír Chonaill), leading to the plantation of Ulster. This is the first account of lost branches of their dynasty, descending from a largely forgotten scion, Donal Oge O’Donnell, only child of Sir Donal O’Donnell who was the eldest son and usurped heir of Sir Hugh Dubh Mac Manus, 23rd O’Donnell, King and Lord of Tyrconnell. Hugh Dubh ruled from 1567 to 1592 and married twice. His children by his first wife, Nuala, a daughter of O’Neill, were eclipsed by the second, Maria or Iníon Dubh, née MacDonnell, who killed Sir Donal at Derrylaghan in 1590, thwarting his succession in favor of her own eldest son, Red Hugh, then in English captivity. Hugh Dubh died in 1600, and by 1601 both Red Hugh, who had escaped Dublin Castle, and his brothers Rory and Cathbharr and their nephew Donal Oge were engaged in the endgame of the Nine Years War. En route to Kinsale, Donal Oge undertook a side-expedition to Ardfert, spending several years in alliance with FitzMaurice, Lord of Kerry. Rory succeeded Red Hugh and became the first Earl of Tyrconnell in 1604, but they and many others were exiled to the Continent in 1607 in the Flight of the Earls. Donal Oge then joined Spanish forces in Flanders, where he died in 1620. Hugh Dubh and his family were the last undisputed dynasts to rule effectively. Stripped of power, the nominal local headship of the clan reverted later to the genealogically senior line of his brother Calbhach, some whose descendants won fame and fortune on the Continent as dukes in Spain and counts in Austria. History thus far obscured the survival of an older line of O’Donnell counts in France, who were known there as Chief of the Name and of the Arms. They became extinct in 1879, but their ostensible next-of-kin in Ardfert, trace origins in common back to a grandson of Donal Oge O’Donnell. His descendants, rebels in Ireland and Jacobites in France, later transitioned from military to civil service, at the highest echelons in the French Council of State. They epitomized the principle noblesse oblige, in their pursuit of enlightenment, compassion, and public service.

Описание: The argument presented in this book arose from an extension to the question whether the suppression of the Jacobite Rising of 1745-46, as represented by a long-standing historiographical consensus, spelled the end of Jacobite hopes, and British fears, of another restoration attempt.

Описание: The orthodox view of eighteenth-century Britain is of a stable polity dominated by 'politeness' and 'commercialism'. It projects a world that was safe and comfortable for the landed elite and full of opportunity for the middling sorts marching towards their Victorian destiny.
But what kind of stable polity undergoes two revolutions within one hundred years and lapses into internal war on seven occasions during 1688-1803? Our cosy vision of the eighteenth century is surely deep-seated, but it cannot cope with revolutionary movements like Jacobitism, the American Patriots and the United Irishmen. By recovering a 'lost' rebellion that had a serious chance of triggering a revolution as sweeping as that of 1688, this book directly challenges the paradigm.
We have long assumed that the Jacobite movement was reactionary and hostile to reform of any kind. Yet in the early eighteenth century, the Scottish Jacobite movement was transformed into a vehicle for revolutionary change. In the course of the political battles against Anglo-Scottish union, the Scots Jacobites broke with their past and developed a new, radical ideology. At its core was a vision of a future Scotland in which a Stuart restoration went hand-in-hand with a new constitution that would have reduced the Stuart dynasty to mere figureheads presiding over a noble demi-republic. It would also have been a Scotland directly economically attached to France and its empire, and thus able to demand a far more equal relationship with England. Jacobite success would have drastically rebalanced power relations between the three kingdoms in the British Isles. In 1708, it seems, the polite and commercial empire of our happy orthodoxy was on the edge of a precipice.

Описание:

Osprey's examination of the Scottish Jacobite army during the Jacobite Rising of 1745. The heart of this book is the story of Bonnie Prince Charlie's army at Culloden. It strips away the myth and exposes the realities of life in the Jacobite rebel army. It begins with the raising of the army which included volunteers, 'pressed men' and mercenaries, as well as French forces that were sent over to assist as part of the 'Auld Alliance'. Unit organization, weapons, and tactics are discussed and the book also details the vicious battles that were fought in this doomed attempt to secure the British crown.

After the Jacobite rebellion was finally crushed at Culloden, many of the survivors were surprisingly drafted into the British Army alongside their former enemies and saw service in North America during the French-Indian War (1754-1763). The wonderful color plates and rare images illustrate the variety of uniforms that were worn ranging from tartan to regular army dress. This is an essential introductory guide to the Jacobite armies as well as a definitive reference to the uniforms and weaponry of the period.
