Read Full Biography →The Jacobite Legacy
The Jacobite movement emerged from one of the most consequential dynastic struggles in British history.
From the reign of James VI and I to the exile of James VII and II, the Stuart monarchy shaped the political, religious, and cultural development of Scotland, England, and Ireland.
Following the Glorious Revolution, supporters of the displaced royal line continued to challenge the new political order through diplomacy, conspiracy, and armed rebellion.
Their cause drew support from powerful noble houses, Highland clans, military commanders, and royal sympathizers across Europe.
The Jacobites of Europe collection by Moors Card Company revisits this complex history through the kings, queens, and nobles whose lives became intertwined with the Stuart dynasty.
Twelve historical figures. Four kings. Four queens. Four noble houses. One extraordinary royal legacy.
