On 6 September 1715, John Erskine, the 6th Earl of Mar, raised the Stuart banner at Braemar in the Scottish Highlands. Mar had supported the accession of the Hanoverian King George I the previous year, but soon found himself out of favour. He now hoped to restore his prestige and influence by leading a Jacobite rising. Layne, Daren Scott (2015). The Popular Constituency of the Jacobite Rising in 1745-6. University of St Andrews. A banner of the ancient Royal Coat of Arms of Scotland, now officially used in Scotland by representatives of the sovereign, including the First Minister of Scotland (as keeper of the Great Seal of Scotland), the Lord High Commissioner to the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, the Lord Lyon King of Arms, and Lord Lieutenants within their lieutenancies. [2] [4] This flag is also used at the royal residences of Holyrood Palace and Balmoral Castle when the sovereign is not present.

In response to a question from Jesús del Campo, "Do you know about the banners of the Jacobites at Culloden battle?":O'Sullivan created an army organised along conventional European lines and his use of the then-novel divisional structure is viewed as a major factor in the Jacobites' speed of movement. [8] Further recruits came in as they marched on Edinburgh; by the time of Prestonpans on 21 September, numbers had increased to around 2,500.

The Royal coat of arms of the Kingdom of Scotland with a scroll underneath bearing the motto " NEMO ME IMPUNE LACESSIT" on a field of dark blue. The single most common issue for Scots volunteers was opposition to the 1707 Union between Scotland and England; [28] after 1708, the exiled Stuarts explicitly appealed to this segment of society. [33] They included James Hepburn of Keith, a fierce critic of both Catholicism and James II who viewed Union as 'humiliating to his country....' [34] a b c d e f g Bartram, Graham.

Overthrow

A banner of the Royal Coat of Arms of the United Kingdom used exclusively in Scotland by the sovereign. An alternative form is used elsewhere. [2] Charles had a mounted lifeguard from early on in the campaign; it eventually grew to be one of the larger cavalry units. [89] Most of the recruits were young men drawn from the 'society' of Dundee and Edinburgh, with many being sons of gentlemen. [90] One troop, of around 100 men, was commanded by Lord Elcho, and another of 40 men by Balmerino. Unlike nearly all Jacobite units, the Lifeguards had an elaborate formal uniform: blue coats with red facings, laced waistcoats and a tartan carbine belt. [89] McCann (1963), pp.135-143. There is no evidence the Catholic hierarchy approved of the rising, whereas the Non-Juring church appears to have actively encouraged it.

The Standard of Queen Camilla, namely the Royal Standard of the United Kingdom used in Scotland, impaled with the arms of her father, Bruce Shand. Of the prisoners held at Carlisle after the rising, only 8% were Catholic, though this may be affected by the composition of the Carlisle garrison. 68.2% were of the Church of Scotland (probably including Episcopalians) and 22.4% of the Church of England. Gildart to Sharpe, 26 Oct 1746 Charles left France on 15 July aboard Du Teillay, supplies and 70 volunteers from the Irish Brigade transported by Elizabeth, an elderly 64-gun warship. Four days out, they were intercepted by HMS Lion which engaged Elizabeth; after a four hour battle, both were forced to return to port, while Du Teillay continued to Eriskay. [2] This meant Charles arrived with few weapons, accompanied only by the " Seven Men of Moidart," among them the elderly Marquess of Tullibardine and John O'Sullivan, an Irish-born officer in the French army. [3] On 19 August, 1745, a hastily-made red and white flag lifted in the breeze at Glenfinnan, at the north end of Loch Shiel in the Western Highlands of Scotland. It signalled the beginning of the Jacobite Rising of 1745 – but the chances of the flag’s ever being unfurled were in doubt until the last moment, as Frances Owen writes on the 275 anniversary of the raising of the Jacobite standard. Frances Owen is the editor of Historia. She’s the co-author of A Rebel Hand: Nicholas Delaney of 1798.There was no Irish rising in either 1715 or 1745 to accompany those in England and Scotland; one suggestion is after 1691, for various reasons Irish Jacobites looked to European allies, rather than relying on a domestic revolt. [69] From the 1720s on, many Catholics were willing to swear loyalty to the Hanoverian regime, but not the Oath of Abjuration, which required renouncing the authority of the Pope, as well as the Stuarts. [78] After the effective demise of the Jacobite cause in the 1750s, many Catholic gentry withdrew support from the Stuarts. Instead, they created organisations like the Catholic Convention, which worked within the existing state for redress of Catholic grievances. [79] When Charles died in 1788, Irish nationalists looked for alternative liberators, among them the French First Republic, Napoleon Bonaparte and Daniel O'Connell.

Once characterised as a largely Gaelic-speaking force recruited from the Scottish Highlands using traditional weapons and tactics, modern historians have demonstrated this was only partially accurate. The army also included a large number of north-eastern and lowland Scots, along with substantial Franco-Irish and English contingents, who were drilled and organised in line with contemporary European military practices. The Revolution thus created the principle of a contract between monarch and people, which if violated meant the monarch could be removed. Jacobites argued monarchs were appointed by God, or divine right, and could not be removed, making the post-1688 regime illegitimate. While this was the most consistent difference, Jacobitism was a complex mix of ideas, many opposed by the Stuarts themselves. In Ireland, James supported tolerance for Catholicism, but opposed other demands such as Irish autonomy and reversing the 17th-century land settlements. In 1745, clashes between Prince Charles and Scottish Jacobites over the 1707 Union and divine right were central to the internal conflicts that ended it as a viable movement.

Ranald, the Clanranald chief, refused to publicly support the Rising but permitted his eldest son to raise a regiment. Raised in the Clanranald lands of Moidart and present at Glenfinnan, it was one of only two regiments, along with Glengarry's, to arrive with its own Catholic priest. It fought at Prestonpans, Falkirk and Culloden, after which it dispersed. Oates, Joanthan, ed. (2006).

In 1642, the Catholic Confederacy representing the Irish insurgents proclaimed allegiance to Charles, but the Stuarts were an unreliable ally, since concessions in Ireland cost them Protestant support in all three kingdoms. In addition, the Adventurers' Act, approved by Charles in March 1642, funded suppression of the revolt by confiscating land from Irish Catholics, much of it owned by members of the Confederacy. [12] The result was a three-way contest between the Confederacy, Royalist forces under the Protestant Duke of Ormond, and a Covenanter-led army in Ulster. The latter were increasingly at odds with the English government; after Charles' execution in January 1649, Ormond combined these factions to resist the 1649-to-1652 Cromwellian conquest of Ireland.
