William Augustus (1721-1765), third son of George II and Caroline, was created Duke of Cumberland in 1726 and embarked on a military career. He led the allied forces at the battle of Fontenoy in 1745, but was most notorious for the battle of Culloden, where not only was the Jacobite rebellion crushed but any remaining Highlander was slaughtered, earning the Duke his nickname, "Butcher."
