Re: The Name Game - Chapter 4

Yes - that is who I meant. So sorry to screw up the game

Charles Stuart - aka Bonnie Prince Charlie, claimant to the British Throne. and oh, what a story he had.

Are you referring to the current Prince Charles, divorced from Princess "D" and married to Camilla? If so, he's not a "Stuart," but a "Windsor." The "Stuart" line started after the "Tudor" line (Queen Elizabeth I) with the ascension of James I (James VI of Scotland) in 1609 and ended with James II fleeing the country less than a century later.

I remember them from cards that were sold in packs with gum like baseball cards. There was also a set of U.S. Presidents cards.

No, I was referring to "Bonnie Prince Charlie" who raised the Scottish Clans to follow him against the British so he could regain the throne that his Father, James had walked away from in favor of his sister, Mary. His quest ended with the infamous Battle of Culloden in Scotland that decimated the clans, outlawed for a while the wearing of the kilt and cost many their lands. Many of the Scots who survived left after the battle & emigrated to the southern colonies of America. Many went to North/South Carolina. Look up Flora MacDonald for some interesting stories. This all happened in the 1740's. and some of those emigrants were my ancestors.

“Love was not in it for me at first. I dated guys because of the way they looked. And then I began to learn that it's what's inside that counts. Love to me now is understanding. It's giving.”
