Description

King Charles’s nephew Prince Rupert was an accomplished cavalry commander before the English Civil Wars. Born in Prague in Bohemia on December 17, 1619, Prince Rupert was the son of Charles I’s sister Elizabeth (the “Winter Queen”) and Frederick V, Elector of the Palatinate in Germany. Rupert became the most romantic, successful and famous of the Royalist commanders of the Civil Wars and was widely feared by the Parliamentarians, some of whom credited him with supernatural powers. His dog Boy (a standard poodle), which had a price placed on his head, accompanied Rupert everywhere, including battle, and was said by Parliamentarians to be the Prince’s evil familiar spirit.
