Clementina Walkinshaw

Clementina Walkinshaw

Clementina Maria Sophia Walkinshaw (1720 – 27 November 1802) was the mistress of the Jacobite claimant Charles Edward Stuart.

Born into a respectable Scottish family, Clementina began to live with the Prince in November 1752 and remained his mistress for eight years. Their child Charlotte was born in 1753. In 1760, the Prince's father, James Francis Edward Stuart, helped her escape with her daughter to a convent and began to support her. After his death in 1766 she had an allowance from Charles's brother Henry, Cardinal Duke of York. Charlotte's father legitimised her in 1783, and the next year she joined him in Florence and looked after him until his death. Charlotte died unmarried in 1789, leaving Clementina 50,000 livres and an annuity, but Henry insisted on Clementina signing a "quittance" renouncing any further claim.

Clementina Walkinshaw brought up her grandchildren (sired by Charlotte's lover, archbishop Ferdinand de Rohan) and lived until 1802, in her later years taking up residence in Switzerland.

Charles Edward Stuart

Charles Edward Stuart

Karel Eduard Stuart (známý také jako Mladý pretendent, či Bonnie Prince Charlie, celým jménem anglicky Charles Edward Louis John Casimir Silvester Maria Stuart; 31. prosince 1720, Řím – 31. ledna 1788, Řím) byl jakobitským uchazečem (pretendentem) o trůn Anglie, Skotska a Irska. Sám sebe označoval za právoplatného krále Anglie, Skotska a Irska (1766–1788) a jako takový používal jméno Karel III. Oficiálně ale nebyl ve Velké Británii nikdy králem uznán a na rozdíl od svého otce nebyl uznán dokonce ani katolickou církví. Příslušel mu pouze titul hrabě z Albany, který mu papež dovolil používat.
