BZ London 1714-15, MZ Richard Green (ab 1703, Grimwade Nr.876). Zustand A/B.
William Augustus, Duke of Cumberland, war der dritte Sohn George II. von England und begann bereits in jungen Jahren seine militärische Karriere. Nach mehreren Feldzügen während des Österreichischen Erbfolgekriegs wurde er 1745 ausgesandt den Jakobitenaufstand unter Charles Edward Stuart niederzuwerfen. In der Schlacht von Culloden, am 16. April 1746, schlug er die Truppen des Bonnie Prince Charles vernichtend und erbarmungslos.
Der auf der Widmungsgravur genannte George Reid of Ratho hatte die Protestanten und damit den Duke of Cumberland vermutlich mit finanziellen Mitteln unterstützt. Auch wenn er als historische Persönlichkeit nicht sicher zu greifen ist, war seine Familie für ihren Juwelenhandel und ihre Bankgeschäfte bekannt. Sie waren Teil der sogenannten 'Solemn League and Covenant', welche die hannoverschen Protestanten politisch und finanziell unterstützten
