Why was Bonnie prince charlie's heart buried separately from his body?

Bonnie Prince Charlie's heart was buried separately from his body as a tribute to his tumultuous life and struggles for the Scottish crown. After his death in 1788, his heart was embalmed and placed in a small container, which was sent to Rome, where he had spent much of his exile. This act symbolized both his devotion to Scotland and the bittersweet nature of his legacy, as he had fought valiantly but ultimately failed in his quest for the throne. His body, meanwhile, was buried in the family crypt at St. Peter's Church in Rome.
