Jacobite cause
The Jacobite cause was a political movement in Britain that aimed to restore the House of Stuart to the throne after they were deposed in the Glorious Revolution of 1688. Supporters, known as Jacobites, believed that the rightful kings were James II and his descendants, who were Catholic, in contrast to the Protestant monarchy that followed.
The movement led to several uprisings, notably the Jacobite risings of 1715 and 1745. The latter was led by Bonnie Prince Charlie, the grandson of James II, and aimed to reclaim the throne. Ultimately, the cause was unsuccessful, culminating in the defeat at the Battle of Culloden in 1746.
