Légende

Bonnet worn by the Pretender, at Holyrood, 1845. Feathered crown worn by pretender to the English throne Charles Edward Stuart, known as Bonnie Prince Charlie or the Young Pretender, at the ball given at Holyrood [Palace] just before the battle of Prestonpans; of which his biographer says: " the fatigues of the preceding days, and the anxiety that could not but be felt with respect to the coming battle, were alike unable to depress the buoyant spirits of Charles, and to impair his natural vivacity and power of pleasing. The enthusiasm of the ladies was unbounded, and many a fair waverer was, perhaps, confirmed in her devotion to the House of Stuart, by the graceful dancing of so handsome a representative of Scotland's rightful King."' From "Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII.
