re: #229 Nojay UK

There was no “English crown” by the time of the Clearances. There was the British crown, a national institution that had been passed around a couple of foreign aristocratic families (the House of Orange and the Hanovers) and politically neutered by Parliament over the century following the Union of Crowns. There had been two major rebellions started in the Highlands in 1715 and 1745, fomented and financed by the Papish French kings to put their hand-picked puppet on the British throne and do away with all that egalitarian democratic rule.

Everything I know about that time and place is from Highlander and Outlander. What I know about Culloden is that it was a character-defining chapter for both Duncan Macleod and Jamie Fraser.
