Stuart pretenders, 1689–1824

Despite the deposition of James II in 1689, he and his descendants continued to claim the thrones of England, Scotland, and Ireland for more than a century afterwards. This claim was, when politically suitable, recognized by some other European monarchs. As the Stuart pretenders considered the government of England after 1698 to be illegitimate, they did not recognize the validity of the union of the English and Scottish crowns in 1707, or the union with Ireland in 1801.
