Jacobite Army
The Jacobite Army was a military force that aimed to restore the House of Stuart to the British throne. It was primarily active during the late 17th and early 18th centuries, particularly during the Jacobite risings. The army consisted of supporters of James II and his descendants, who were exiled after the Glorious Revolution of 1688.
The most notable uprisings occurred in 1715 and 1745, led by figures such as Bonnie Prince Charlie, a grandson of James II. The Jacobite Army sought to rally support from the Scottish Highlands and other regions, but ultimately faced defeat at battles like Culloden in 1746, marking the end of their efforts.
