who lost a lot of their power after the battle of culloden in 1746?
charles stuart
as the jacobite army moved south into england, charles kept assuring his troops that aid and reinforcements from english jacobites would be arriving at any time. this aide and reinforcements were desperately needed as the jacobites were badly outnumbered by the three british government armies already in the field. finally on 6 december 1745, at derby in the english midlands, charles was reluctantly persuaded by his senior officers to turn back to scotland. upon hearing about the turnabout in derby, the french gave up on their plans for an invasion of england. the jacobites felt they could more securely fight the hanovarians in a defensive battle on scottish soil rather than fighting the british government army in england. on 17 january 1746, at the battle of falkirk muir, 8,000 scots, the largest number of troops gathered by the jacobite cause during the uprising defeated 7,000 british troops. ultimately, however, charles stuart and his uprising were defeated on 27 april 1746 at the battle of culloden.
