*** Charles Edward Louis Philip Casimir, commonly known
as the Young Pretender, was the eldest son of the Chevalier
de S. George (James IIP), and of the Princess Clementina.
He sailed from France in the “ Doutelle” on the 13th July,
1745, and landed in the Hebrides 2nd August, from whence
with his adherents he marched south as far as Derby ; from
there he retreated north ; and subsequently to the battle of
Cullodcn, 16th April, 1746, was in hiding with a reward of
^30.000 placed on his head, notwithstanding which he escaped
in September to France, and after many vicissitudes died at
Rome, 1788.
The Badge, which is unpublished, doubtless is connected
with the 1745 rising. It has been, for many years, in the
possession of a Jacobite family resident in the south of
Ireland.
