Books, Manuscripts
'Butcher' Cumberland is portrayed as one of the arch villains of British history. His leading role in the bloody defeat of the Jacobite rebellion in 1745 and his ruthless pursuit of Bonnie Prince Charlie's fugitive supporters has generated a reputation of severity that has endured to the present day. But was Cumberland really an ogre?
