The battle of Culloden occurred on April 16, 1746 and was the last pitched battle in Britain. Effectively, it defeated and put an end to a series of Jacobite uprisings that had been ongoing since the 1688 following the Glorious Revolution, which put an end to the male-line succession of the House of Stuart on the British throne. The Jacobites were a group who wanted to restore the Stuart line, who had become Catholic, and many of the supporters were Scots, particularly the highland regions of Scotland.
