In support of the Jacobite cause which was the support of the Stuart claim to the throne believing that James II and VII and his heirs was the legitimate King of England and Scotland (or Great Britain after 1707) which led to risings lasting from 1688 to 1746. The major ones in 1715 and 1745.
It was effectively brought to an end at Drommossie Moor more commonly known as Culloden in 1746 which was a comprehensive defeat for the Jacobite cause by the Government. After evading government forces Bonnie Prince Charlie fled from Scotland never to return and after Charles's death his younger brother Henry recognised George III and his descendants as the legitimate heirs.
