Battle of Culloden

The Battle of Culloden (April 16, 1746) was the last military clash ever to be fought on British soil. It was between the forces of the Jacobites, who supported the claim of Charles Edward Stuart (also known as "Bonnie Prince Charlie") to the throne; and the Royal Army, which supported the Hanoverian sovereign, George II of Great Britain. Culloden brought the 1745 Jacobite Rising to a close. It was a decisive defeat for the Jacobite cause, and Prince Charles left Britain and went to Rome, never to attempt to take the throne again.

-text=The '''Midianites''' were a biblical people who occupied territory east of the [[Jordan River]] and the [[Dead Sea]], and southward through the desert wilderness of the [[Arabah]]. In the biblical account, the Midianites were descended from ''Midian'', a son of [[Abraham]] through his [[concubine]] [[Keturah]] ([[Genesis]] 25:1-6). The land of Midian was also where [[Moses]] spent his 40 years in exile after killing an Egyptian (Exodus 2:11–15). During those years, he married [[Zipporah]], the daughter of [[Jethro]], the priest of Midian.
