[edit]The current article says in part: "In 1743, Charles fought at the Battle of Dettingen, where the British army was led by his chief rival, King George II".
I can find no evidence for Charles fighting at Dettingen in any of the major biographies. There is a chapter entitled "Dettingen" in G.A. Henty's book "Bonnie Prince Charlie" - but this book is not really about Charles Edward Stuart. Noel S McFerran 00:37, 22 Nov 2004 (UTC)
The article said that the Battle of Culloden occurred in January 1746. As every source I have ever read indicated that Culloden's date was 15-16 April 1746, I changed this date. However, since I was rather confused by such a discrepancy in what seems to be an otherwise accurate article, I thought to post here to explain this change. echomikeromeo 00:49, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)
The date formerly given for the Battle of Culloden was actually the date for the Battle of Falkirk (at which Charles Edward was victorious). Noel S McFerran 02:03, Nov 29, 2004 (UTC)
I see. --echomikeromeo 00:57, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)
After Culloden
[edit]Can anyone elaborate why he did not continue the rising after his men regrouped at Ruthven after Culloden? Why did he feel himself betrayed and why did this lead him to flee? It is an important yet a point not deeply explored by the looks of it.

[edit]I find it difficult to believe that he never mastered any language, all except the severely handicapped become fluent in at least one language. Maybe his written language was below par, I have seen it claimed that he was a poor speller in English, but that's not quite the same as being semi-literate.

- the reference is correct. It is cited in Kybett, one of his foremost biographers. Similar comments in other biographies. Debatable but were it today some would class him as having learning disabilities.
