The “Resurgence” of Scottish Nationalism
Though the Scottish have long exhibited a strong sense of national pride

the referendum on national independence in 2014 and the release of Starz’s television drama Outlander has sparked a renewed interest in Scotland’s Jacobite Rebellion.

The efforts of Bonnie Prince Charlie and the Highlanders mark one of the most important—and ultimately tragic—moments in Scottish history.

Background to the Jacobite Rebellions
The origins of the Rebellion date back to 1603, with the ascension of James I to the English throne.

Formerly the king of Scotland, the Stuart monarch traveled south to London to rule over the newly-united Kingdoms of England, Scotland and Ireland after the death of the childless Queen Elizabeth—known as the “Virgin Queen” for her life-long chastity.

Unfortunately for many of James I’s Scottish supporters, the king turned his attentions away from his homeland once he reached London.

He assumed the title “King of Great Britain” and pushed for the complete unification of three realms.

James I—and after his death in 1625, his son King Charles I—even sought to force the English Anglican episcopacy’s hierarchy on the Scottish Presbyterian Church.

Anger in Scotland over such reforms resulted in armed conflict in the 1640s. The Stuart Kings, it seemed, had abandoned their Scottish roots.

The next stop on the road towards the Jacobite Rebellion took place after the English Civil War and the restoration of the monarchy.

When Charles II died in 1685 without a legitimate heir (though the “Merry Monarch” reportedly bore 12 illegitimate children!), his brother, James II, took the throne.

James II, however, was a converted Catholic, and the English Parliament would not allow a “popish” monarch to rule over Protestant England.

After a mere three years as king, Parliament and a group of Protestant nobles overthrew James II and awarded the crown to his protestant daughter, Mary.

Alongside her husband, William of Orange, Mary ruled until 1702. For his part, James II fled to France; yet he held onto his claim to the English throne until his death in 1701.

Those who supported his claim became known as Jacobites—from Jacobus, the Renaissance Latin spelling of James.

After William’s death in 1702, Mary’s sister, Anne, took the crown. Queen Anne oversaw the Acts of Union in 1707:

an agreement that completely combined England and Scotland—theretofore separate states with the same monarch—into one country, Great Britain.
