To add some more information about the Jacobite succession after the death of Cardinal Stuart, it is ironically Franz, Duke of Bavaria who is the current Jacobite claimant. The duke is the first openly gay European nobleman, and unlike his forebears his younger brother Max has progeny. The claim will pass into the House of Liechtenstein upon the deaths of Franz, Max, and the latter's daughter Sophie, who married Alois, the Hereditary Prince of Liechtenstein. Their eldest son Joseph is the first Jacobite claimant since James Stuart to be born in the UK. As Dr. Kat rightly points out, no one in the Jacobite succession in a few hundred years has made any serious effort at claiming the British throne, and Franz has even said he doesn't even want it. I think we can close this chapter of history.

Yes but there's also one other little tidbit that many people don't know about and it is very rarely if ever spoken about. And that is just before the Battle of Culloden there was also a much much smaller Skirmish called The Battle of little fairy I believe if I'm not mistaken the Battle of Little Ferry took place in the days just prior to the Culloden Massacre.

I recently found myself explaining who the Jacobites were when we were watching Renegade Nell - it's set in 1705 and a Jacobite plot to overthrow Queen Anne was a focus. It's very much historical fiction with a lot of magic, but we had fun watching it.

As an American, I find myself exasperated by all the decades/centuries of wrangling over the religion of the ruler of Great Britain! We have had our wrangling too. I remember that my history classes taught me that the prejudice here against catholics was still so pervasive that there were those who thought JFK would be the pawn of the pope and shouldn’t be elected president. Now we have a catholic president and it’s just another random piece of information about Biden.I just wish we could all get along. 💒🙏🏼

@ChelleLlewes Ай бұрын

I remember the uproar over JFK's being Catholic. My bff at the time was Catholic, although I never was, and I could not for the life of me understand what everybody was so afraid of! I also remember just a woefully few years later when he was assassinated that practically the entire town in which I was living shut down out of grief. Same guy, whole different attitude.

That was then. William the Conqueror, Mathilda, Henry IV, Edward IV, Henry VII, William III, are a few who come to mind who seized the crown by force. These days, the sovereign is whoever parliament says it is. There are laws, to be sure, and other laws would need to be passed if the crown were to be bestowed on anyone but the sovereign's direct heir. But times have changed; the crown isn't won by combat anymore.

Now let’s try a video about the Jacobin invasion! 😆 I think it’s interesting to think of how the Jacobite monarchy would be different from the late Stuart/Hanoverian reigns. So much of parliamentary power comes from decisions and compromises in these reigns. Would parliament be as powerful today if the Jacobite line had inherited or reclaimed the throne? I could see some major political problems with James III’s French influence. Louis XIV was an infamous absolutist after all, and I could see James having problems with parliament because of that. Might make an interesting alt history setting (or imagine if Henry was made pope!)… ⚔️👑

One of the supporters and financiers of 'Bonnie Prince Charlie's 1745 expedition to Scotland was Antoine Walsh an Irish exile in France. Walsh made a fortune through buying salt beef in Cork and shipping it via Lorient (Brittany) to Saint Domingue (now Haiti). The salt bèefwas used to feed the slaves there. Walsh supplied ships and funds to Prince Charles Edwars Stuart. Ironically, Ireland remained at peace during the '45.'

Which made me wonder - is our current emphasis on the word Protestant wrong? How was it spoke originally? Just found it interesting!

Its not hard to see how the Jaccobites would have 100%, genuinely belived they were the rightfull rulers. However royalty rules at the pleasure of the people and the Jacobites did not please . Also, given that it was 3 or 4 Generations (depending on how you count) of Jacobites, it not hard to see how royalty usually unalived or imprisoned any competition. Competition was simply too big a problem to ignore.

I think Britain dodged a bullet. While some power had already transferred from Queen Anne to parliament, far more power left the monarchy when a non English speaking king sat on the throne. The Stuart males had a penchant for the divine right theory. With the Hanoverian dynasty, Britain gradually became the great democracy it is today. That also likely saved the monarchy from a fate similar to the French King.

Another comment Dr Kat since I'm just now viewing this particular video. It's been very well documented and it's been very well noted, not only within your comments section by another viewer but also by another KZfaqr kzfaq.infoWw2EO4B3zWA?si=UeVrP2UxCasBAUzx (Yaldi Tours), that put out his own comical KZfaq short video. However, aside from the fact that there are supposedly people that could claim the Jacobite throne if you will. I don't even understand how there are so called descendants of the Jacobite movement or cause for there to even BE claimants to the throne? I'm confused. IF, we are to take as fact that at the time of the Culloden battle that all of the fighters (all of which were male) were murdered on the field upon which they lay..... then that would mean effectively that an entire generation was wiped out in a single day...... That means that the women had no way to produce from the Jacobite men anymore. Am I right? So how does that work out that there's Jacobite claimant's to speak of? Off of who's family tree did all of these descendants stream from?

I actually don't know what the majority of my Scottish ancestors felt about the subject and who they were loyal to. But there were some who were fighting for James VII & II. One was a Jacobite was surnamed MacPherson. He was captured at Preston in 1715, shipped to Liverpool, and then exiled to South Carolina in 1716. I've enjoyed researching and imagining his life story. He ended up making a nice life for himself!
