	Jacobitism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jacobitism was the political movement dedicated to the restoration of the Stuart kings to the thrones of England and Scotland (and after 1707, Great Britain).
		Jacobitism was a response to the deposition of James II and VII in 1688 when he was replaced by his daughter Mary II jointly with her husband William of Orange.
		A year later the Jacobites were forced to agree to a truce while the Clan chieftains sent requests to the exiled James VII and II for permission to submit to William, and in January 1692 the Jacobite Clans formally surrendered to the government.

		With the Union of the Parliaments the English had ensured that the House of Hanover would succeed in Scotland too and the Jacobite rebellion in 1715 was an attempt, originated by the Earl of Mar, to capitalize on discontent at the Union in general and the accession of George I (Sophia's son) in particular.

	The Jacobite Rebellions
		The prime difficulty in assessing the strength of support for Jacobitism is that the arithmetic of these calculations fluctuated wildly over the course of the four decades between the first and last of the Jacobite plots, in 1708 and 1745-6.
		In the battle in Killiecrankie, the Jacobites managed to drive the government troops away, but the commander of the Jacobites, Viscount Dundee, was killed in the battle, and because the army was left without a leader, they lost the advantage they had gained by the victory in the battle, and had to withdraw.
		One of the main causes for the outbreak of the rebellions was obviously the problematic situation of the monarchy, especially its reputation in the Highlands.
