The Chevalier de St. George (James Francis Edward Stuart)

The Chevalier de St. George, also known as James Francis Edward Stuart, was the son of King James II of England and Ireland, who was deposed in 1688. As a Catholic prince, he was considered by his supporters to be the rightful heir to the British throne, despite not holding power. His supporters, mainly Jacobites, sought to restore him to the throne, leading to political unrest and uprisings in Britain. His life symbolized the ongoing conflict over religious and political authority in Britain during the late 17th and early 18th centuries.
