In August 1744, Prince Charles met Jacobite agent Murray of Broughton in Paris, telling him he was "determined to come to Scotland ...though with a single footman". His arrival on Eriskay on 23 July took both sides by surprise; even then, "the cold reality [is] that he was unwanted and unwelcomed". Despite being urged to return to France immediately, enough Scots were eventually persuaded and the 1745 Rising launched on 19 August.
