The Duke of Cumberland, also known as Prince Rupert, was a prominent figure during his time. Born in 1619, he held various titles including Duke of Bavaria and Earl of Holderness. Although he is often remembered for the infamous Massacre of the Highlanders, there is much more to his story. One notable aspect of Prince Rupert's life was his residence at Prince Rupert's House on Beech Lane in Barbican. This grand house served as a symbol of his wealth and influence. It stood as a testament to his status within society. Prince Rupert's actions were not without controversy, however. The Massacre of the Highlanders remains a dark chapter in history that cannot be ignored. This event saw him implicated in the brutal killing of many innocent people. Despite these controversies, Prince Rupert had connections with other influential figures such as George, Prince of Denmark.
