In the so-called "Glorious" Revolution of 1688, King James VII (and II) was removed from the throne and forced into exile because he was a Roman Catholic. From that point, until the death of his grandson Bonnie Prince Charlie about a century later, the Jacobites (supporters of James/"Jacobus") existed abroad as a shadowy government in exile, always plotting and, in 1745, almost succeeding to reclaim their birthright on the British thrones. In this exciting episode, Kate and Thomas are joined by Rory Hardie to discuss the romance and uprisings of the Jacobites, the biggest "what-if" in early modern British history.
