Remember that history is rewritten by the winning side.
Bonnie Prince Charlie is often described as a poor commander who cared nothing for his men.
But with just the 7 Men of Moidart he landed at Glenfinnan in one small frigate,
the larger one damaged by a man-of-war. In spite of that he won at Prestonpans and down South to Derby.
