	Jacobitism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jacobitism was (and, to a very limited extent, is) the political movement dedicated to the restoration of the Stuart kings to the thrones of England and Scotland (including after 1707, when the Hanoverian government deemed those thrones to have been combined into the throne of 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 and first cousin 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.

	JACOBITES - LoveToKnow Article on JACOBITES
		The history of the Jacobites, culminating in the risings of 1715 and 1745, is part of the general history of England (q.v), and especially of Scotland (q.v.), in which country they were comparatively more numerous and more active, while there was also a large number of Jacobites in Ireland.
		Owing to a variety of causes Jacobitism began to lose ground after the accession of George I. and the suppression of the revolt of 1715; and the total failure of the rising of 1745 may be said to mark its end as a serious political force.
		Jacobite traditions also lingered among the great families of the Scottish Highlands; the last person to suffer death as a Jacobite was Archibald Cameron, a son of Cameron of Lochiel, who was executed in 1753.

		In 1719 Murray took part in the Jacobite attempt in conjunction with the Spaniards in the western highlands, under the command of Tullibardine and the earl marischal, which terminated in "the affair of Glenshiel " on the loth of June, when he was wounded while commanding the right wing of the Jacobites.
		On the eve of the Jacobite rising of 1745 the duke of Perth made overtures to Lord George Murray on behalf of the Pretender; but even after the landing of Charles Edward in Scotland in July, accompanied by Tullibardine, Murray's attitude remained doubtful.

	The Jacobite uprising of 1715 - ScotWars
		The Jacobite leaders, seeing their main army crumbling away, with no prospect of help from any quarter, and aware that Argyll had been reinforced by the Dutch contingent and by the victors of Preston, approached the Duke of Argyll in order to negotiate the terms of a surrender.
		The Jacobite leaders gave orders for the army to prepare to march to Aberdeen early the next morning, but when day came it was discovered that the Prince, the Earl of Mar, Earl of Melfort, Lord Drummond and a few others had boarded a ship in the harbour and had sailed for France.

		In 1708 the Jacobite claimant to the throne, the putative James VIII, and his French allies had attempted land in Scotland to incite a rising, but were foiled by adverse weather and outmanoeuvred by the Royal Navy.
		Eventually the rising fizzled out when 6000 Dutch troops landed in support of the Hanoverian government and the forces of King James scattered under the pressure of bad leadership and lack of foreign aid.
		The final threat to the Union came with the 1745 Jacobite Rising when Charles Edward Stuart, or Bonnie Prince Charlie as he was known, disappointed at French unwillingness to invade in 1744, decided to finance his own rising.

	Scottish History - The Jacobites
		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 standard was raised on 6 September 1715 in the north-east Highlands.
		If the Jacobites were to hope for a successful invasion of Britain they therefore required Britain to be at war, since she traditionally denuded her home forces in order to wage war abroad, trusting to the navy to repel invaders.

		Jacobitism had a strong appeal to those who resented Whiggish officialdom and over-taxation, and particularly to those in rural England who disliked industrialisation and sought a return to old values, traditions, love of nature and the countryside.
		Duffy believes that the rising was severely hampered by the failure of the English Jacobites to come to Charles’ aid in sufficient numbers.
		Sometimes this was due to circumstances beyond their control; for example, prominent Jacobite Tories in the West Country were arrested and detained by the Whig authorities to prevent them from raising forces to support the uprising.

		When the heritable jurisdictions, the right of chiefs to hold court to try their clansmen, were all abolished, this law and the steps taken to disarm the Highlanders did much to destroy the authority of the chief, making him no longer a dispenser of justice, no longer a military leader.

	Frasers of Lovat at Culloden - April 16, 1746
		Simon was eventually pardoned for his crimes, returned to Scotland, supported the Hanovarians in the 1715 Jacobite rising, and succeeded to the peerage as Lord Lovat.
		However, the vision of a Jacobite dukedom was very appealing, and presented a dilemma for the aging but ambitious Simon Lord Lovat in the turbulent times leading to the 1745 Jacobite rising that culminated in the Battle of Culloden.
		In the second Jacobite rising, Lord Lovat, in return for the promise of a Jacobite dukedom under a restored Stuart monarchy, ordered his followers and his eldest son, the Master of Lovat, to ‘come out for Charlie’.

		It is recommended that introductory work on the Jacobite and the Rising of 1745 is undertaken prior to starting the activity sheets, so that pupils understand the time, place and climate in which the activities are set.
		Although pupils are not asked to consider the reliability of Campbell’s diary until the last activity, they should be encouraged as soon as the diary is introduced in Activity 1 to be aware of its advantages and disadvantages as a historical source.

	Around and About - Dilston
		On 6 September 1715, the Stuart standard was raised in the Highlands of Scotland by the Earl of Mar. Four weeks later, the Northumbrian Jacobites, led by the Earl of Derwentwater and Thomas Forster, MP for the county, and also Charles Radcliffe, rose up in rebellion.
		However, it is also argued that as a close relation to Prince James (who was viewed by the Jacobites as James lll, the rightful king of England) the Earl of Derwentwater must surely have been party to the plotting.
		The Earl of Derwentwater was charged with high treason, condemned to death and beheaded on Tower Hill on 24 February 1716.
