Jacobites
Jacobites, supporters of James II, the last Roman Catholic king of England, Scotland and Ireland, who was deposed in the Glorious Revolution of 1688, his son James III, recognised as king of England, Scotland and Ireland in 1701 by his Catholic cousin Louis XIV of France, and his grandson Charles Edward Stuart, The Young Pretender. Apart from the emigrants who accompanied James II to France, support for Jacobitism came from many Tories in England and Scotland, and the Highland nobility. Together, they managed to delay the Act of Union between England and Scotland until 1707. Between 1688 and 1746, Great Britain and Ireland experienced a series of Jacobite uprisings, rebellions, and wars aimed at restoring the Stuart kings to the thrones of England, Scotland, and, after 1707, Great Britain. The Jacobite rebellions of 1689, 1715 and 1745, the latter two known respectively as "the Fifteen" and "the Forty-five", ended in bloody military defeats; and Jacobitism was finally crushed when the leaders of the movement were executed in 1746. Very occasionally there are Jacobites in the UK even now, who do not acknowledge the legitimacy of the ruling dynasty.
