	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 de facto 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 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		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.

	The Jacobite Heritage (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The origin of the party, however, may be traced to the reign of Charles I, for the Jacobites of 1688 were the direct successors of the Cavaliers of 1642, as the Whigs were of the Puritans." (Ruvigny, The Legitimist Kalendar, 1895).
		The Jacobites deny the validity of the usurpation of the throne first by the Prince and Princess of Orange, next by the Princess Anne of Denmark, and finally by the Elector Georg I of Hannover and his heirs.
		Jacobitism is, however, more than merely a belief that a different person has the best right to the throne.

	Why is Culloden Relevant Today?
		Jacobite history has been often marginalised by those who wish to justify the status quo.
		The Jacobites were, and often still are, presented simply as Highland ‘savages’, largely ignoring the important issues involved; in a similar way the IRA are marginalised by today’s media, being presented simply as terrorists and ignoring the larger questions.
		Jacobitism itself was far more than a Highland movement in a Scottish civil war, though it is often been reported as such — again similar to the way recent Irish class conflict is presented as a religious war.

		He traces the various manifestations of Jacobite sentiment at home, from the activities of outlaw rapparees to the reported ‘insolence’ of the Catholic mob in Dublin and the highly developed corpus of writing on the themes of dispossession and deliverance developed by the Gaelic poets.
		By the end of his 378 pages of text there can be no question that Jacobitism was indeed the primary political loyalty of the great majority of Irish Catholics up to at least the 1740s, and that the threat it posed had a profound effect on the outlook and behaviour of the ruling Protestant minority.
		But the fact remains that the whole point of Jacobitism was to place a Scottish dynasty back on the united thrones of England and Scotland and on the dependent throne of Ireland.

	Literary Encyclopedia: Jacobite, Jacobitism
		The word Jacobite derives from “Jacobus”, Latin for James, and designated supporters of the claim of King James II (and his son, James Francis Edward Stuart, the “Old Pretender”;, and grandson, Charles Edward Stuart, “The Young Pretender”; or Bonnie Prince Charlie”) to the throne of England following his removal in the Glorious Revolution of 1688.
		It therefore stoked Jacobite inclinations and encouraged the invasion of Scotland by James Edward Stuart (who was recognised as James III by Louis XIV of France) in 1708, but when the French ships in which he was travelling saw a British naval squadron, they fled and the invasion was aborted.
		In 1715, however, there was a sustained and indigenous rising of Scottish Jacobites, initially provoked by the arrival of the Hanoverian George I on the death of Queen Anne in 1714 (see Act of Settlement).

		Two crucial features are the analysis of Irish Jacobite poetry in its wider 'British' and European contexts and the inclusion of the Irish diaspora as a pivotal part of the Irish political 'nation'.
		Both Jacobites and anti-Jacobites were obsessed with the vicissitudes of eighteenth-century European politics, and the fluctuating fortunes of the Stuarts in international diplomacy.
		Jacobitism, by preventing the emergence of a fully-fledged Hanoverian royalism within the broader Catholic community was crucial to the ease with which democratic republicanism penetrated Irish society in the 1790s.

	Battle of the Boyne - Free net encyclopedia
		While most Jacobites in Ireland were indeed Catholics, many English and Scottish Jacobites were Protestants and were motivated by loyalty to the principle of monarchy (considering James to have been illegally deposed in a coup) or to the Stuart dynasty in particular, rather than by religion.
		The Jacobite's Irish cavalry, who were raised from among the dispossessed Irish gentry, proved themselves to be high calibre troops at the battle.
		Despite this, there are also smaller parades and demonstrations on 1 July, the date which maps the old style date of the Boyne to the new style in the usual manner and which also commemorate the massacre of the 36th Ulster Division on the first day of the Battle of the Somme in 1916.

	Review: Ireland and the Jacobite Cause, 1685-1766: A Fatal Attachment
		Although Jacobitism undoubtedly provided one of the main impediments to their participation, and the single most important ideology of his Irish Catholic 'Nation', it is ignored in his work.
		Many Irish Jacobites looked to the Stuarts to restore their confiscated lands, reverse the political, social and cultural domination of the Protestant ascendancy and to rehabilitate the Roman Catholic church and Irish culture.
		The Irish tailored Jacobitism to suit their communities' particular needs: the cause was invoked to demand the right to bear arms, to drive out Protestantism, to take out leases, to vote in elections and promote Irish language and culture.

		In recent years Jacobitism has become a subject of growing interest to historians amid lively academic controversy over various aspects of the subject.

		This article explores the "intimate and significant links" between Irish Jacobitism and Freemasonry from the late seventeenth to the mid-eighteenth century.
		Murphy defines Jacobitism and Freemasonry, provides documentary evidence of their earliest references in Ireland, linking both movements to the Stuart dynasty, and discusses the influence of Jacobitism in the development of Freemasonry in Ireland.
		Murphy concludes that, "awareness of the Jacobite legacy of politicisation and mixing of creeds is vital to understanding the extraordinary proliferation of radical and republican Freemasonry, which marked first the Volunteer and then the United Irish movements in the latter part of the eighteenth century".
