Prince Charlie's Targe
Prince Charlie's Targe is an 18th-century Targe type of shield, said to have been one of thirteen made for Prince Charles Edward Stuart, also known as the ''"Young Pretender"''.
Charles gave them away as trophies to his supporters during the 1745 Jacobite rising. The shield measures just 20 inches across. It is made out of tooled leather stretched across a wooden frame. The silver decorations include Medusa's head in the centre and various arms and crests around the edge.
One of these targes can be seen in Warwick Castle and is thought to be the only one in England.〔"Treasures of Britain" by Drive Publications Limited, for the Automobile Association. P.477〕
