IOTL "Bonnie Prince Charlie" didn't get married until 1773, when he was 53 years old.
Supposing that he was found a wife shortly before the 1745 uprising instead, say in 1744 (when he'd have been in his early 20s), who would be good candidates?
Must be of roughly comparable age (say 15-25), Roman Catholic, either royalty (but not royal enough for marriage to a prince whose inheritance is actually guaranteed to be likely) or high nobility, and from a pro-Jacobite/anti-Hanoverian -- or pro-French, anyway -- family...
Any suggestions?
EDIT: I've decided that it will be a Polish noblewoman [with a name probably invented by me for this purpose] from the court of Stanislas, Duke of Lorraine.
