 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.

 They Passed This Way II
The Jacobites derived their name from Jacobus, the Latin name for King James II of England, who was dethroned in 1688 by William of Orange during the Glorious Revolution.
The high point of the Jacobite movement was the second Jacobite rebellion, known as “The Forty-Five.” In July 1745, James II's grandson, Charles Edward Stuart, known as the Young Pretender, landed in Scotland and in September entered Edinburgh with 2000 men.
Jacobite sentiment was strong only in the Scottish Highlands, however, and their forces retreated and were completely defeated at the Battle of Culloden.

When the Jacobites swung east from Barnet to approach London through Tottenham, the Hanoverians encamped at Finchley were forced into a hurried countermeasure, meeting their enemy in a disorganised state and without most of their artillery, which was still being dragged through Colney Hatch.
The so-called Second Jacobite Rebellion of 1745 has fascinated historians precisely because it dramatises the sheer chanciness of history and undermines the retrospective sense of inevitability that invariably comes with our confident discovery in the past of patterns and developments.
Just as Jacobite hunting was the preoccupation of the main combatants during and after the '45, so it has become the passion of some academic researchers.

 The 2ND Jacobite Rebellion
Prince Charles Edward (the Young Pretender) now took charge again, insisting on fighting an orthodox defensive action, and on April 16th 1746 they were finally defeated near Inverness at the Battle of Culloden by Hanoverian forces made up of English and Scottish troops and Campbell militia, under the command of the Duke of Cumberland.
The Jacobites were a mix of French, Irish and Scots, most with little training.
English used an initial assault of muskets after which the Jacobites charged, but were repelled but a second round of musket fire.

The emblem of the Jacobites is the White Rose of York; white rose day is celebrated on June 10, the anniversary of the birth of James VIII and III in 1688.
The failure of the '15 convinced the Jacobites that to overthrow the Hanoverians they needed the support of a major European power, and in an age when the Hapsburg empire was collapsing and armies becoming professionalised this gave a lever to any country in dispute with Britain.
They returned to join their growing force in Scotland, with a petulant Charles refusing to take any part in running the campaign until he insisted on fighting an orthodox defensive action at the Battle of Culloden on 16 April 1746 and they were finally defeated.

 Notes on the Marquis of Huntly's Retreat
This battle was one of three important military engagements in the First Jacobite Rebellion in support of the Old Pretender, James, son of the deposed James II (a Stuart and so potentially heir to both the English and Scottish thrones).
Part of the Jacobite animus against the Marquis of Huntly may be owing to the fact that when he was captured by pro-George forces at his Gordon Castle and imprisoned in Edinburgh, he was soon released on account of his having "quit the cause early".
The Jacobite cause is first presented as the agreed-upon cause of the Gordons from which the Marquis defects making him a traitor not merely to his country, Church, and King but to his family word and honour (see stanza 1).

 Jacobite Rebellion   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
The Jacobite Rebellions were attempts to restore the Stuart descendants of King James II of England to the British throne.
Although opposition from the Jacobites arose immediately following the James' deposition in 1688 and recurred throughout the first half of the 18th century, only two major "rebellions" are normally recognised by this title: the '15 and the '45.
The second "rebellion", in 1745, was led by James II's grandson, Bonnie Prince Charlie (though his father was still alive), and came close to overturning the status quo and placing the Stuarts back on the throne.

Jacobites soldiers were ordered to “give no quarter” at Culloden.
This ‘order’ was based on a crude forgery and used by English commanders to dehumanise the Scots and perpetuate their image as non-Protestant savages.
It was later used by the English to justify their own refusal of quarter when they butchered prisoners, wounded, and even innocent onlookers (including children).
