The Jacobite Chronicles

The Jacobite Chronicles refer to a series of events and movements in 17th and 18th century Britain centered on the attempts of supporters of the deposed Stuart kings to reclaim the throne. Following the Glorious Revolution of 1688, which ousted King James II, Jacobites sought to restore him and his descendants to power. Key events include the Jacobite risings, particularly those in 1715 and 1745, which aimed to overthrow the Hanoverian kings. The movement was marked by battles, political intrigue, and significant cultural impacts, reflecting broader tensions between monarchy and parliamentary governance in Britain.
