Pretender Prince: Episode 4: Heavy Is the Head That Wears the Crown

In 1745 as Charles and his Highland army march through England in their bid to take over the British throne, there’s panic on the streets of London - with English newspapers full of stories of raping, murdering Highland savages heading towards the city.

But then, unexpectedly, the invading Highland army retreats back to Scotland. It’s a fateful decision that leads to Culloden - the last major battle on British mainland soil.
