Jacobite Rising

Each Jacobite Rising formed part of a series of military campaigns by Jacobites attempting to restore the Stuart kings to the thrones of England and Scotland (and after 1707, Great Britain) after James VII of Scotland and II of England was deposed in 1688 and the thrones “usurped” by his daughter Mary II jointly with her husband William of Orange.

The major Jacobite Risings were called the Jacobite Rebellions by the new governments. The “First Jacobite Rebellion” was the ‘Fifteen, and the “Second Jacobite Rebellion” was the ‘Forty-Five. for more click here
