New Jacobite instruction collections online
24 June 2014
We regard produced two new online themed collections forward the Jacobite Rebellion of 1715 and the Jacobite Rising of 1745. For the at the outset time, teachers and students will receive easy access to original documents of the dot which have emerged due to every on-going cataloguing project of the State Papers of George I and George II.
The collections consist of from beginning to end 70 documents covering a rich register of material with teacher's notes, transcripts, a timeline of the clause and family trees. Audio recordings of most documents open them up to a new audience, and an accompanying Pinterest diet brings the collections to life.
From primary maps showing the battles of Culloden and Prestonpans and printed Jacobite pamphlets, to a lay calling for the Elector Georg of Hanover (George I) to be esteemed home and Jacobite soldiers writing to their wives, the matter is fascinating. You can learn from one place to another the transportation of Jacobite prisoners behind the risings and the cases of exclusive Jacobite supporters who were imprisoned in spite of drinking to the health Prince Charles, the 'Young Pretender', and of James, the 'Old Pretender'.
You can read Flora MacDonald's testimony almost how she helped Bonnie Prince Charlie shun after the battle of Culloden disguised in women's habiliments, and we even have an statue of the Prince's clothing (when he was not dressed as a woman).
These resources will benefit those teaching and lore about the Jacobites, which are at once a feature of the new public curriculum in history and are embedded in indisputable specifications at history A level. Both online funds have an introduction by expert up the body the period, Professor Daniel Szechi at Manchester University.
