The siege of Louisbourg 1747
Louisbourg June 1747 the Jacobites were defeated in Scotland in 1745 at the battle of Culloden, This history was found in the dusty cellars of the Royal Tiberian library, pen by an author called Jean Luc Pickard.
A little known history of the mid 18th century which was suppressed by the British crown.
Bonny Prince Charlie went to the Americas with French gold and French troops raising a new Jacobite army. Planning to raise rebellion across the Americas, Louisbourg is central to the plan as the French fleet can offload more Scottish / French, Spanish troops and much needed weapons and supplies for the Prince.
However the British got wind of the plan, attacked and captured Louisbourg in May 1747, the Scottish / French have been laying siege to Louisbourg forts and town for several weeks. Several breaches have been made in the walls and the Scottish / French army is assaulting the breaches as the sun rises.
