After the revolution of 1688 in England, which expelled James
II. from the throne, his partisans, who wished to restore him,
were called Jacobites, an appellation derived from the Latin
form of his name—Jacobus. The name adhered after James' death
to the party which maintained the rights of his son and
grandson, James Stuart and Charles Edward, the "Old
Pretender" and the "Young Pretender," as they were
respectively called.
