No Jacobite Pretender

James II and VII (14 October 1633 – 16 September 1701) was King of England, Scotland, and Ireland from 6 February 1685. He was the last Catholic monarch to reign over the Kingdoms of England, Scotland, and Ireland.

Some of James's subjects were unhappy with James' belief in absolute monarchy and opposed his religious policies, leading a group of them to depose him in the Glorious Revolution. The Parliament of England deemed James to have abdicated on 11 December 1688. The Parliament of Scotland on 11 April 1689 declared him to have forfeited the throne.

He was replaced by his Protestant son, James Francis Edward.

Prince James, Prince of Wales (James Francis Edward Stuart 10 June 1688 – 1 January 1766) was the son of the deposed James II and VII. As such, he claimed the English, Scottish and Irish thrones (as James III and VIII) from the abdication of his father in 1688, he was proclaimed King of England, Scotland and Ireland. Following his death in 1766 he was succeeded by his son Charles Edward Stuart.

Charles Edward Stuart (31 December 1720 – 31 January 1788). After his King James III died on the 1st of January 1766, Charles was recognised and crowned as Charles III on the 7th February 1766.

Upon his death, his daughter Charlotte Stuart, styled Duchess of Albany (29 October 1753 – 17 November 1789),was proclaimed Queen Charlotte I, was the daughter of King Charles Edward Stuart (King Charles III) and his only child to survive infancy. Her mother was Clementina Walkinshaw, who was the kings wife from 1752. she was created her Duchess of Albany in 1784. She left her own children with her mother, and became her father's carer and companion in the last years of his life, before dying less than two years later.

When Queen Charlotte died in 1789, she had no living legitimate children (her three children were illigitamate) the british crown passed to her closest living relative in line to the throne.

As such the crown passed to George William Frederick; (4 June 1738 – 29 January 1820) Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg and prince-elector of Hanover in the Holy Roman Empire was King of Great Britain and King of Ireland from 17th November 1789 until the union of these two countries on 1 January 1801, after which he was King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland until his death.
