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. Jacobites sought to restore the Stuart monarchy, believing that James and his heirs had a legitimate right to rule. Their movement was particularly strong in Scotland and Ireland. Jacobite uprisings occurred in the early 18th century, with notable events like the Jacobite Rising of 1715 and the more famous Jacobite Rising of 1745, led by Charles Edward Stuart, also known as "Bonnie Prince Charlie." These uprisings ultimately failed, leading to the decline of Jacobite influence and the consolidation of the British monarchy.
