Jacobite rising
The Jacobite risings were a series of uprisings in Great Britain during the 17th and 18th centuries aimed at restoring the Stuart monarchy to the throne. The most notable risings occurred in 1715 and 1745, led by figures such as James Francis Edward Stuart and Charles Edward Stuart, also known as "Bonnie Prince Charlie."
