It is conjectured that the dies for this medal were prepared by Charles Norbert or Joseph Charles Roettiers. The obverse portrait is of course Prince Charles with the legend <i>CAROLUS WALLIAE PRINCEPS</i> or Charles Prince of Wales. The reverse of this medal portrays Britannia looking outwards to the ships in the distance - a reference to the landing at Eriskay. The Latin legend <i>AMOR ET SPES</i> translates to Love and Hope.</p><p><br /></p><p>Subsequent to the flight of the Prince, he largely withdrew from further adventure. Regrettably he drowned his sorrows in the bottles, the remaining nearly 43 years of his life were a litany of unhappiness and failed relationships.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
