1715
Lacking the romantic imagery of the 1745 uprising of supporters of Bonnie Prince Charlie, the Jacobite rebellion of 1715 has received far less attention from scholars. Yet the ’15, just eight years after the union of England and Scotland, was in fact a more significant threat to the British state. This book is the first thorough account of the Jacobite rebellion that might have killed the Act of Union in its infancy. Drawing on a substantial range of fresh primary resources in England, Scotland, and France, Daniel Szechi analyzes not only large and dramatic moments of the rebellion but also the smaller risings that took place throughout Scotland and northern England. He examines the complex reasons that led some men to rebel and others to stay at home, and he reappraises the economic, religious, social, and political circumstances that precipitated a Jacobite rising. Shedding new light on the inner world of the Jacobites, Szechi reveals the surprising significance of their widely supported but ultimately doomed rebellion.
Jacobite Prisoners of the 1715 Rebellion
The Jacobite rebellion of 1715 was a dramatic but ultimately unsuccessful challenge to the new Hanoverian regime in Great Britain. It did, however, reveal serious fault lines in the political foundations of the new regime which enormously restricted the government's freedom of action in the suppression of the rebellion, and effectively made the treatment of the rebels in its aftermath the true test of the new dynasty's legitimacy and stability. Whilst the rulers of England had traditionally dealt harshly with internal rebellion, monarchs and their ministers had to find a delicate balance between showing the power of the regime through the candid exercise of force while maintaining their own ...

A clear and demythologised account of the military campaigns waged by the Jacobites against the Hanoverian monarchs.
The Jacobite Rising Of 1715
In 2013 I had the opportunity to visit Preston, England, the site of the last battle in England. During the Jacobite Uprising of 1715, Captain Peter Farquharson had been shot in the knee. He was taken to the White Bull Inn, where it was decided that his leg should be amputated. He requested a glass of brandy and said "Come lads, here is our master's health; though I can do no more, I wish you good success." I walked through the streets trying to imagine the setting 300 years earlier. I found the current version of the White Bull Inn and drank a brandy to the memory of Peter Farquharson, John Farquharson (the Clan Chief), and all the Farquharsons and their Highland Clansmen that took part in the Uprising of 1715. When I returned from my trip, I read as much as I could about this Uprising. Most books barely mention the participation of our clan. I thought it worthwhile to summarize their important role as the 300th anniversary neared. This book is the result.
The Jacobite Rising of 1715 and the Murray Family
Based in Perthshire, the Murray family played an important role in all Jacobite rebellions, whether as rebels or supporters of the government. During the Great Rising of 1715, the head of the family the Duke of Atholl remained loyal to the Hanoverian government but three of his sons were Jacobites. Two of these brothers then went on to play major roles in the 1719 Rising and in the more famous '45. What led to their decision to commit to the Jacobite cause? A look at the earlier years of the Murrays at the end of the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries sheds light on the family dynamics and helps explain how and why the brothers made the decisions they did. Traditionally the Murrays w...
