Excluded from the succession by law because of their Roman Catholicism, James's Stuart descendants pursued their claims to the crowns as pretenders. James's son James Francis Edward Stuart (the 'Old Pretender') and grandson Charles Edward Stuart (the 'Young Pretender' or 'Bonnie Prince Charlie') actively participated in uprisings and invasions in support of their claim. From 1689 to the middle of the eighteenth century, restoration of the Jacobite succession to the throne was a major political issue in Britain, with adherents both at home and abroad. However, with Charles Edward's disastrous defeat at the Battle of Culloden in 1746, the Jacobite succession lost both its support and its political importance. James II and VII's other grandson, Henry Benedict Stuart, was the last of his legitimate descendants, as he took a career as a Catholic prelate and as such never married. Henry Benedict Stuart died in 1807, by which time the Jacobite succession ceased to have supporters in any number.
When Henry died childless, the Jacobite claim was then notionally inherited by Henry's nearest relative (a second cousin, twice removed), and then passed through a number of European royal families. Although the line of succession can continue to be traced, none of these subsequent heirs ever claimed the British throne, or the crowns of England, Scotland, or Ireland. A spokesman for the current heir, Franz, Duke of Bavaria, has described his position in the line of succession as "purely hypothetical" and a question "which does not concern him".[1] However, there remains a small number of modern supporters who believe in the restoration of the Jacobite succession to the throne.
Background: the Glorious Revolution and Hanoverian succession
James II and VII, a Roman Catholic, was deposed, in what became known as the Glorious Revolution, when his Protestant opponents forced him to flee from England in 1688.[2] The English parliament deemed that James had, by fleeing his realms, abdicated his thrones.[2] In theory, the deemed abdication applied to the crown of Ireland as well, as the English monarch was, in law, automatically also the monarch of Ireland.[a] In practice, James's loss of the Irish crown to William of Orange was because of his defeat in the Williamite War in Ireland in 1691.[4] A Convention of the Scottish Estates took a different approach to the English parliament, and declared that James, by his wrongdoing, had forfeited the crown.[5] Both offered the crowns, not to James's infant son, but to his adult Protestant daughter Mary and to her husband and cousin, James's nephew, William of Orange.[2][6]
William and Mary were succeeded by James's younger daughter and Mary's sister, Anne, also a Protestant, who became Queen in 1702.[7] The Act of Settlement 1701, passed shortly before Anne's accession, fixed the line of succession in law with the aim of permanently excluding James's descendants, and Roman Catholics in general, from the throne.[7] The Parliament of England first barred Roman Catholics and James's descendants from inheriting the throne through the Bill of Rights 1689.[8] The 1701 Act both confirmed these provisions[9] and added to them by clarifying the line of succession should Anne die without surviving issue.[10] As an English Act of Parliament, it was originally only part of English law, applying to the throne of England,[11] but also to the throne of Ireland as the monarch of England was automatically also monarch of Ireland under the Irish Parliament's Crown of Ireland Act 1542.[4][12] By virtue of Article II of the Treaty of Union between England and Scotland (put into law by the Acts of Union 1707), which defined the succession to the throne of Great Britain, the Act of Settlement became part of Scots law as well.[13] The succession after Anne (who would die without leaving surviving children) was effectively settled on the Protestant House of Hanover. The Act named Anne's first cousin once removed, Sophia of Hanover, a granddaughter of James VI and I, and her descendants, as Anne's successor. Sophia died a few months before Anne, and Sophia's son, George I, consequently acceded to the British throne on Anne's death in 1714.[7]
Stuart claims in exile
James II and VII, his son, James, the 'Old Pretender', and his grandsons, Charles, the 'Young Pretender' and Henry, called Cardinal Duke of York, never accepted the loss of their crowns and continued to press their claims from exile to varying degrees.[14] They were supported by Jacobites in England, Ireland, and, particularly, in Scotland.[15][b] The Jacobite succession, as a dynastic alternative for the throne, became a major factor in destabilising British politics between 1689 and 1746.[16] Jacobitism was perceived by contemporaries to be a significant military and political threat,[17] with invasions and uprisings in support of the exiled Stuarts occurring in 1689, 1715, 1719 and 1745.[15]
Internationally, the Jacobite succession had limited recognition. Only France, Spain and the Papacy acknowledged James II's son as 'James III' on his father's death in 1701.[18][19] By the Peace of Utrecht, France and Spain switched their recognition to the Hanoverian succession in 1713,[20] although France subsequently recognised James as "King of Scotland" during the 1745 rising.[21] Even the Papacy withdrew its recognition of the Jacobite succession when James, the Old Pretender, died in 1766.[22]
With the defeat at the Battle of Culloden in 1746, Jacobitism was dealt a death blow and the Jacobite succession lost its significance as a dynastic alternative to the Hanoverians.[23] Jacobitism went into a rapid decline and with the death of Charles, the 'Young Pretender' in 1788, the Jacobite succession lost what was left of its political importance.[24] His younger brother, Henry, Cardinal of York, died in 1807 and the Royal House of Stuart thereby became extinct.[25] With the death of the last Stuart, the House of Hanover was completely established as the only credible dynasty for the British throne.[26]
Line of succession after the Stuarts
Applying primogeniture, the notional rights to the Stuarts' claim then passed to Henry's nearest surviving relative, Charles Emmanuel IV of Sardinia, and from him on to other members of the House of Savoy, and then to the Houses of Austria-Este and Wittelsbach over the subsequent two centuries.[27] Neither Charles Emmanuel[28] nor any of the subsequent heirs have ever put forward any claims to the British throne.[27][29] Aside from the brief Neo-Jacobite Revival in the years before the First World War,[30] and a handful of modern adherents,[31] any support for the Jacobite succession had disappeared by the end of the 18th century after it had been abandoned by even the inner core of its supporters.[32] Although there are a small number of modern-day self-described 'Jacobites', not all of them support the restoration of the Jacobite succession to the throne.[33]
James lawfully succeeded his brother, Charles II, to the throne on 6 February 1685, as Charles did not have any legitimate children.[42][43] When James fled the country in 1688, the English Parliament declared that he had abdicated[2] and the Scottish Convention of Estates declared he had forfeited his crown.[5] However, James and his supporters denied that he had abdicated[4] and claimed that the declaration of forfeiture had been by an illegal Scottish Convention.[39] They maintained that James continued to be the rightful king.[44]
Upon James II & VII's death in 1701, James, called the Old Pretender by his detractors, as James II/VII's only surviving legitimate son,[46] inherited his father's claim.[47]
Charles Edward Stuart (1720–1788) ("Charles III")[14][45] ("The Young Pretender") ("Bonnie Prince Charlie") 1 January 1766 – 31 January 1788[48]
Upon the death of James, the "Old Pretender", in 1766, Charles, as James's eldest son, assumed his claim to the throne.[48]
Upon Charles Edward Stuart's death in 1788, Henry, as Charles's only brother, was the last surviving legitimate descendant of James II/VII.[50]
Subsequent succession
Upon the extinction of the Royal Stuart line with the death of Henry, Cardinal of York, and applying male-preference primogeniture unaltered by the Act of Settlement 1701, the succession would have passed to the individuals named in the table below. However, unlike the Stuart pretenders, none of them has claimed the British throne (or the thrones of England, Scotland or Ireland) or incorporated the arms of these countries in their coats-of-arms.[27] Nevertheless, since the 19th century, there have been small groups advocating the restoration of the Jacobite succession to the throne.[31][51][52]

^In fact, the Irish Parliament did not follow the example of the English Parliament; it declared that James remained King and passed a massive bill of attainder against those who had rebelled against him.[3]
^Their supporters traditionally toasted the pretenders as "The King over the Water".
^The date given for the commencement of his claim is the date upon which James fled London.[40] The English Parliament deemed that his flight constituted his abdication from the throne[2] by a declaration made on 28 January 1689.[40] With regard to the Scottish throne, however, James was not deposed until 4 April 1689, when the Scottish Convention of Estates declared that he had forfeited the crown.[41] His Scottish deposition was not linked to his flight on 11 December 1688, but to his misdemeanours generally.[5]
