Stuart

World History
  • The family name of the Scottish monarchs from 1371–1714 and of the English monarchs from 1603–1714. The founder of the Stuart house was Walter Fitzalan (died 1177) who was steward (from which the name Stewart derives) to the King of Scotland. His descendant became the first Stewart king of Scotland as Robert II (ruled 1371–90). The marriage of Margaret Tudor, daughter of Henry VII, to James IV linked the royal houses of Scotland and England, and on the death of Elizabeth I without heirs in 1603, James VI of Scotland succeeded to the English throne as James I. The Stuarts lost the throne temporarily with the execution of Charles I in 1649, regaining it with the Restoration of Charles II in 1660. The Glorious Revolution (1688) sent James II into exile and the crown passed to his daughter Mary and her husband William, then to his second daughter Anne. Her death without heirs in 1714 resulted in the replacement of the Stuart house by the house of Hanover headed by George I. Supporters of the exiled house of Stuart were known as Jacobites. After the failure of the Fifteen and the Forty-Five (1715 and 1745) rebellions the Stuart cause faded, and George III felt able to grant a pension to the last direct Stuart claimant, Henry, Cardinal York, who died in 1807.
