The Jacobite dictionary

"This unique dictionary on the world of the Jacobites reveals a period of European history which revolved around the claim of the Stuart dynasty to the throne of Great Britain after the Glorious Revolution of 1688. Although commonly associated with Bonnie Prince Charlie's failed attempt to capture the British crown in 1745-6, the political sphere and influence of the Jacobite cause extended throughout Europe where a number of countries with related interests in the Stuart's claim were always seeking to influence the outcome. Fully cross-referenced, this unique A-Z of people, places, events and other facts is an essential contribution to this important period of history which changed the future of the British Isles for ever"--Back cover.
