jacobite restoration

The challenge is to make the Young Pretender the King-in-Exile of Great Britain, who joined the anti-Hanoverian rebels in the American colonies. Bonus if the POD is at the Battle of Culloden (the latest possible POD for a Jacobite Restoration TL) Inspired by Kellan Sullivan's suggestion in a...

Supposing the Jacobites manage to successfully restore the House of Stuart to the throne in 1715 or in the 1740's, what would be the geopolitical implications of such a change? How would his affect the American Colonies, the wars of France in Europe against Austria, and the broader state of the...

What if Louis XIV intervened in the Glorious Revolution? Had it not been for William and Mary, England would not have joined the Nine Years' War, and Louis would have had a staunch Catholic ally on the English throne in James II. Would France have conquered the Dutch Republic, and brought...

It seems that throughout the crises the Stuart monarchy faced, they enjoyed a wide base of support among Irish Catholics. A major expression of this was the creation of Confederate Ireland in 1641, which pledged allegiance to Charles I & Charles II against Cromwell, and later widespread Jacobite...

Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to have a Communist state controlling a part or the whole of the British Isles. Bonus points if you get a British Taiwan anywhere or manage to revive the Jacobite succession as a result of Scottish nationalism (yes, I know it's pretty much ASB...

What would be the international effects of successful 1745 Jacobite rising? Would a Jacobite Britain become close to France or would the Anglo-French rivalry continue, and if Britain became pro-French how would this affect Austria and Prussia? Would it have any effects on the British Empire in...

How would Great Britain's north american colonies react to a restoration of the jacobites to the kingdom's throne, and how would the new jacobite monarchy react to the colonies? Could the hanoverians end up fleeing to North America and claiming the throne from there? Would the jacobites decide...

I've noted that the What If subject of a successful Jacobite Restoration (for both the James 'the Old King' and 'Bonnie Prince Charlie') are a popular TL subject to do. I'm interesting in reading a complete (or an active current one), but which ones are the best? Specifically which ones have a...

Inspired by my Jacobite bride thread a few weeks ago. What would the long-term affects of a 1740s Jacobite Restoration be? And if we can just discuss the long term affects and not get bogged down on whether its possible or ASB (which for the record its not) that would be great. Would we see a...

So while reading King over the Water by Alice Shields and Andrew Lang, I came across a very interesting passage. Twice, in 1697 and apparently in 1700/1701, William III offered to adopt his brother-in-law the Prince of Wales as his heir, in exchange for undisturbed possession of the throne...
