Historical knowledge:

Jacobite: a supporter of the deposed James II and his descendants in their claim to the British throne after the Revolution of 1688. Drawing most of their support from Catholic clans of the Scottish Highlands, Jacobites made attempts to regain the throne in 1689–90, 1715, 1719, and 1745–6, finally being defeated at the Battle of Culloden.

Stirling Castle: The prison where Arthur was held after the Jacobite uprising.

Jacobite uprising of 1745: The Jacobite Uprising of 1745, also known as the Forty-Five Rebellion, was an attempt by Charles Edward Stuart (also known as Bonnie Prince Charlie) to reclaim the British throne for his father, James Francis Edward Stuart, from the reigning House of Hanover. In 1745, Charles Edward Stuart (known as Bonnie Prince Charlie) landed in Scotland to try to reclaim the British throne for his father (the exiled Stuart king). He gathered strong support from Scottish Highland clans. The Jacobite army quickly took control of much of Scotland and even marched into England, reaching as far south as Derby — just 125 miles from London! However, they didn’t get enough support in England and decided to retreat back to Scotland. The British government army regrouped and defeated the Jacobites at the Battle of Culloden in April 1746. It was a brutal defeat — many Highlanders were killed.

What happened afterward: Bonnie Prince Charlie fled and escaped to France. The British government harshly punished the Jacobites: they executed leaders, imprisoned many, and cracked down on Highland culture (banning tartans and clan power) to prevent future rebellions.
