The term "Jacobite leaders" refers to individuals who supported the restoration of the Stuart dynasty to the British throne during the late 17th and 18th centuries. Key figures included James II of England, who was deposed in 1688, and his son James Francis Edward Stuart, known as the "Old Pretender." They aimed to reclaim the throne from the Hanoverian dynasty. Other notable Jacobite leaders were Charles Edward Stuart, the "Young Pretender," who led the 1745 uprising, and Lord George Murray, a prominent military commander. These leaders played crucial roles in various uprisings, seeking to restore the Catholic monarchy and promote Scottish independence.
