William Duke of Cumberland

William, Duke of Cumberland, was a British royal and military leader born in 1721. He is best known for his role in leading British and allied forces to victory at the Battle of Culloden in 1746, which effectively ended the Jacobite rebellion seeking to restore the Stuart monarchy. His military career was marked by discipline and strategic skill, earning both respect and notoriety. However, his reputation was tarnished by the brutal suppression of Jacobite rebels afterward. As a member of the royal family, he also held significant political influence and served as a commander-in-chief of the British Army.
