The term Jacobite refers to supporters of the claim to the British throne by the descendants of James II of England, who was deposed in the Glorious Revolution of 1688. The movement primarily sought to restore the Stuart dynasty, which had ruled England and Scotland. Jacobites were active in the late 17th and 18th centuries, particularly during the Jacobite risings, which were attempts to reclaim the throne. The most notable of these risings occurred in 1715 and 1745, led by figures such as Bonnie Prince Charlie, a grandson of James II. The Jacobite cause was closely associated with the Highland culture of Scotland and often involved conflicts with the British government, ultimately leading to the decline of the movement after the defeat at the Battle of Culloden in 1746.
