On the death of Elizabeth I childless, James VI of Scotland was offered the Crown of England as James I. He and his successors ruled as Charles I, Charles II, James II, (William and) Mary Stuart and Anne. James II was overthrown, but maintained he was the rightful King of England and his son and grandson (Bonnie Prince Charlie) were responsible for the Jacobite rebellions of 1715 and 1745.
