Purdys of the Jacobite Era

The Purdys of the Jacobite Era were a prominent Scottish family known for their loyalty to the Stuart monarchy during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. The Jacobite movement sought to restore James II and his descendants to the British throne, opposing the ruling Hanoverians. The Purdys supported this cause, often participating in or sympathizing with uprisings and political efforts to re-establish the Stuarts. Their involvement reflects the broader Jacobite struggle, which combined political, military, and cultural resistance, emphasizing loyalty to traditional monarchy amid changing political landscapes.
