bullet (Prince) CHARLES EDWARD LOUIS (Bonnie Prince Charlie) (1) was born on 31 Dec 1720 in Rome. He died on 31 Jan 1788 in Rome.
"The Young Pretender," or "Bonnie Prince Charlie" The Jacobite "Charles III"

Bonnie Prince Charlie, grandson of James II, set out in 1746 to reclaim the throne for the Catholic Stuart's. He and his rebels won every battle in their nine month campaign-- except the last. By the time his forces met the British at Culloden, they were fragmenting,
made desperate by a shortage of food and pay.

The Prince having fallen out with his top general, had taken command for the first time and made a number of blunders.

Drummossie Moor was unsuitable for ambush tactics of the Highlanders but idea for the artillery and cavalry of the British. The battle is legendary for its brutality. Wounded Scots were shot or bayoneted. Retreating Scots were slaughtered all along the five-mile road to Inverness. While the rebels lost 2,000 soldiers, only 300 British troops were killed or wounded.

The prince hid out in the Highlands for five months before escaping to France. Jacobite rebellions failed in 1690, 1715 and 1719. Colloden was their final defeat. Parents: (Prince) JAMES FRANCIS EDWARD III (Prince of Wales) and Maria Casimire Clementina SOBIESKI .

bullet(King) CHARLES V (King of France) was born about 1337. Charles V King of France was born in 1337. Died in 1380. Reigned in 1364/1380. Charles V (of France), called The Wise (1337-80), king of France (1364-80), born in Vincennes. He was the son of King John II. When John was captured in September 1356 by the English at Poitiers during the Hundred Years' War, Charles assumed the regency. The most significant events of his regency were the Jacquerie (a peasant revolt) and the insurrection of Paris under Étienne Marcel(circa 1315-58). Upon the death (1364) of his father, Charles ascended the throne. War with the English continued for a number of years, but with results highly favorable to Charles, who stripped them of most of their conquests in France and strengthened the power of the monarchy. A generous patron of literature and the arts, Charles founded (1367) the first royal library in France. During his reign the Bastille was added to the fortifications of Paris. He was succeeded by his son, Charles VI. He died about 1380.

He was married. Children were: (King) CHARLES VI (King of France).

bullet (Emperor) CHARLES V (Emperor Holy Roman Empire) was born on 24 Feb 1500 in Ghent, Belgium. Charles V Holy Roman Emporer was born on 24 Feb 1500 in Ghent, Belgium. Died on 21 Sep 1558 in San Jeronimo de Yusta, Estremdura, Spain. Reigned in 1519/1558. Charles V (Holy Roman Empire) (1500-58), Holy Roman emperor (1519-58), and, as Charles I, king of Spain (1516-56), who fought a losing battle to keep his Roman Catholic empire together in the face of emergent Protestantism and outside pressure.

Charles was the son of Philip I, archduke of Austria (1478-1506), and Joanna (1479-1555); maternal grandson of Ferdinand V of Castile and Isabella I; paternal grandson of the Habsburg Holy Roman emperor Maximilian I; and great-grandson of Charles the Bold, duke of Burgundy. He was born in Ghent (now in Belgium) on February 24, 1500. On the death of his father in 1506, Charles inherited the Burgundian realm; following the death of Ferdinand in 1516, he became ruler of the vast Spanish kingdom; and when Maximilian died in 1519, he gained the duchy of Austria and with his younger brother, Ferdinand, later Emperor Ferdinand I, succeeded to the duchies of Hungary and Bohemia of the house of Habsburg. In 1519, Charles, having bribed the electors, was designated Holy Roman emperor; he was crowned King of Germany in Aix-la-Chapelle (now Aachen, Germany), on October 23, 1520.

Charles was now by far the most powerful sovereign in Christendom. His inherited lands far exceeded those of the Frankish emperor Charlemagne. His territory included the Spanish kingdoms of Aragón and Castile; the Netherlands; the Italian states of Naples, Sicily, and Sardinia; Spanish conquests in America and Africa; and the Habsburg lands. He ascended the imperial throne at a time when Germany was agitated by Martin Luther. In an unsuccessful attempt to restore tranquillity, a great diet was held in Worms in 1521, before which Luther made a memorable defense of his doctrines. At this time rivalry between France and Spain over the Italian lands and Burgundy led King Francis I of France to take up arms against Charles, whose attention was drawn away from Germany's internal affairs.

The war between Charles and Francis, in which Charles was allied with Henry VIII of England and the powerful Charles, duke of Bourbon (1490-1527), proved disastrous to France. Francis was taken prisoner in 1525, when the French were defeated at Pavia (near Milan, Italy). In January 1526 he was forced to sign the Treaty of Madrid, relinquishing his claim to Italy and abandoning Burgundy. Soon after his release the following year, Francis renewed the struggle, now aided by Henry VIII and Pope Clement VII, who was anxious to rid Italy of the imperial armies. The pope was captured at Rome in 1527 and was kept captive for seven months. The war ended with the signing by Charles and Francis of the Peace of Cambrai in 1529. Francis again renounced the Italian lands, and Charles ceded Burgundy to France. In 1530 the pope crowned the victorious monarch in Bologna as Holy Roman emperor, the last coronation of a German emperor by the pope.

Charles had been anxious to end the war with the French so that he could put down the religious revolt in Germany and prevent the Ottoman Turks from overrunning Europe. The Turks controlled the Balkan Peninsula, and in 1526, the year that Ferdinand I laid claim to the Hungarian throne, Sultan Suleiman swept over Hungary. Three years later the Turks laid siege to Vienna. In 1535 the Genoese admiral Andrea Doria, in the service of Charles, led an expedition to Africa, defeated the Turks at Tunis, and freed about 20,000 Christian slaves. In 1538 Charles formed an anti-Turkish alliance with Pope Paul III and the city-state of Venice. The alliance was unsuccessful, and in 1547 Ferdinand signed a 5-year treaty with the Turks.

The failure of Charles to repel the Turks resulted in part from his inability to bring religious peace to his empire, particularly Germany. The spread of disorder during the Reformation emboldened the German princes to seek autonomy for their states. The peasants took advantage of the turmoil in 1524 and revolted. In 1530, shortly after his coronation, Charles convoked a diet in Augsburg to discuss the religious problem. The Protestant princes stated their creed in the Augsburg Confession, which was unacceptable to Charles. Negotiations thereafter failed, and in 1531 the princes formed the Schmalkaldic League. The domestic unrest and the continued war with the Turks forced the emperor to postpone his suppression of the Protestants and to grant them some liberties in 1532 in the Peace of Nuremberg.

In 1536 Charles was again at war with France. The war was terminated by the Treaty of Nice in 1538, granting Francis most of the Piedmont region of Italy. The war was resumed in 1542 and ended in 1544 by the Treaty of Crépy, which largely reaffirmed the earlier Peace of Cambrai. Charles, no longer fighting the French or Turks, turned his attention to the princes and the city-states of the Schmalkaldic League. In 1546 the emperor moved against the southern German principalities, and at Mühlberg, Saxony, on April 24, 1547, he scored a decisive victory against the Protestants. His success was temporary; in 1551 Magdeburg, a great stronghold of Protestantism, fell to Maurice, duke of Saxony (1521-53), but Maurice, who had previously supported the emperor, suddenly deserted Charles, allying himself with King Henry II of France. Charles fled before the Protestants. In 1552, through his brother Ferdinand, he concluded the Peace of Passau, by which the Lutheran states were allowed the exercise of their religion. In 1555 the settlement was reaffirmed in the Peace of Augsburg. Meanwhile, in 1552, Henry II had seized the bishoprics of Toul, Metz, and Verdun, and an attempt by the emperor to reconquer Metz failed.

Weary of the constant struggles and heavy responsibilities of his scattered realms, Charles in 1555 resigned the Netherlands and, in 1556, Spain, to his son Philip II. In 1558 Charles abdicated the imperial crown in favor of his brother, Ferdinand I, and retired to the monastery of San Jerónimo de Yuste in Estremadura, Spain. He died there, on September 21, 1558.

He died on 21 Sep 1558 in Estremdura, Spain. Parents: (Archduke) PHILIP I (Archdudke of Austria) and JOANNA .

Children were: CLAUDE, JOHN (John of Austria), PHILIP II.

bullet(King) CHARLES VI (King of France)(1) was born about 1368. Charles VI King of France was born in 1368. Died in 1422. Reigned in 1380/1422. Charles VI (of France) (1368-1422), king of France (1380-1422). He was the son of King Charles V. After his father's death in 1380, he was under the guardianship of a ducal council until 1388, when he rejected its regency and began to reign in his own right. Charles ruled well until 1392, when he became insane. In the ensuing contest for control of the kingdom, France suffered grievously from civil wars between the Armagnacs (house of Orléans) and the Burgundians. The English took advantage of the internal strife to invade France. They won the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, conquered Normandy in 1417, captured Rouen in 1419 and Paris in 1420, and imposed on Charles the Treaty of Troyes (1420). Under this treaty Charles was compelled to marry his daughter to Henry V and to confer on Henry or his heir the right of succession to the French throne.

He died about 1422. King of France Parents: (King) CHARLES V (King of France).

bullet(King) CHARLES VII (King of France) was born about 1403 in Paris, France. Charles VII (of France) (1403-61), king of France (1422-61), born in Paris. He was the eldest surviving son of King Charles VI. When his father died in 1422, the French throne did not pass to Charles but to the infant King Henry VI of England, who was his nephew. The English inheritance had been stipulated by the Treaty of Troyes (1420), which ended a phase of the Hundred Years' War. Northern France was thereafter ruled by John of Lancaster, regent for Henry, and southern France was governed by Charles, who was called the Dauphin. During the next six years, the English, strengthened by an alliance with Philip the Good, the powerful duke of Burgundy, scored several major military victories. The tide of the war changed when Joan of Arc lifted the siege of Orléans and won the Battle of Patay in the spring of 1429. Charles was crowned king of France on July 17, 1429, in Rheims Cathedral. In 1435, when Duke Philip abandoned the English cause and formed an alliance with Charles, a French victory seemed inevitable. The king entered Paris in 1436. In the following years the English lost all their French possessions except Calais. The last battle of the Hundred Years' War, a disastrous defeat for the English, was fought at Castillon (now in Gironde Department) on July 17, 1453. Charles was not a strong monarch, but he reformed the military, instituted sound fiscal policies, and encouraged trade. He was succeeded by his son Louis XI, who had been in revolt against his father since 1446.
