The new look of Charles Edward Stuart as a young man is based on forensic studies of his death masks.
Scientists have reconstructed the face of"Bonnie Prince Charlie" — the disinherited pretender to the thrones of England, Scotland and Ireland who in 1745 led an ill-fated rebellion of Scots and other supporters against the united British crown.
The latest depiction may be slightly at odds with depictions of the"bonnie" prince — a Scottish appellation meaning"handsome" — who looked dashing and regal in contemporary portraits. James was replaced with his Protestant son-in-law and daughter, the"co-regents" William III and Mary II, on the condition that they allowed the English Parliament to control laws and taxation. Scotland soon made a similar deal.
Bonnie Prince Charlie escaped and began a fugitive journey around Scotland's northwest; at one point he disguised himself as a serving maid to avoid capture. His flight inspired the"The Skye Boat Song," a version of which features in"Outlander." The prince then returned to France, and then Italy, and died in Rome in 1788 at age 67.
