Firstly, the series of dazzling successes that took Charles within striking distance of London, but which culminated in the disaster of Culloden, the last battle fought on English soil.

My attention has been drawn to the mistake, Culloden being in Scotland so it was in fact the last battle on British soil.

The last pitched battle on English soil was probably the battle of Sedgemoor fought in 1685, which was the decisive battle in Monmouth's Rebellion.
