Description
The Lilies and the Thistle: French Troops in the Jacobite '45 By Andrew Bamford Helion, 2018 The Jacobite Rising of 1745 was a pivotal moment in British history, but its connection to France is often overlooked. This book sheds new light on the role of French troops in the campaign, exploring their experiences and the myths that have surrounded them for centuries. New archival research reveals the stories of the men who made up the French contingent, as well as the background and fates of those who led them. The author also examines the uniforms worn by these detachments, bringing new information to light and challenging existing sources. By examining the details of this often-neglected aspect of history, Bamford fills an important gap in our understanding of the Jacobite '45. This book offers a fresh perspective on a dramatic period in British history, one that saw foreign troops fighting on British soil for the last time.
