They include the Pretenders standard erected in Scotland, signifying political challenges faced by the monarchy; the defeat of the Pretender at Preston, highlighting victorious moments; cruel treatment endured by rebels who opposed his rule; and finally, recognition of Quadruple Alliance alliances formed to maintain peace across Europe. Mary Ann Rundall's illustration is part of her renowned work "A Symbolical History of England" published in 1839.
