Bonnie Prince Charlie

[Lindha]

Hello,

I'm a Swedish girl who need info about BPC. I'm writing an essay about him...and now I need to know what do you think about him. Was he good or bad for your country. Was it good/bad that he was defeated att Culloden? Tell me some stories from his escape back to France. I know that moast of them are legends but I need them so that I can compare him with a swedish king called Gustav Wasa.
I would be very gratefull for even the smallest of info...

See you lot, you are too serious, to cut a long story short, he escaped with the aid of Flora MacDonald and being dressed as a woman.

Kilty,
When someone from another country/culture asks questions about our own country or culture, it is rarely a good idea to joke around; you just might be taken seriously.

I hope they do take me seriously then, for it's true is it not? All I did was make light of it.
