Jacobite peerage

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Jacobite Peerage)

Title page of The Jacobite Peerage, 1904, by Marquis of Ruvigny and Raineval

The Jacobite peerage includes those peerages created by James II and VII, and the subsequent Jacobite pretenders, after James's deposition from the thrones of England, Scotland and Ireland following the Glorious Revolution of 1688. These creations were not recognised in English, Scots or Irish law, but the titles were used in Jacobite circles in Continental Europe and recognised by France, Spain and the Papacy.

Jacobite peerages ceased to be created after 1760 except for a title created by the "Young Pretender", Prince Charles Edward Stuart, for his illegitimate daughter in or before 1783. The following tables list the peerages and baronetcies created by the Stuart claimants in exile.

Sources

[edit]

An authoritative list of the Jacobite peerage does not exist. The standard source relied on is The Jacobite Peerage, Baronetage, Knightage and Grants of Honour published in 1904 by Melville Henry Massue, who called himself 'Marquis de Ruvigny et Raineval'.[1][2] However, as a source, it is unreliable. Peter Drummond-Murray of Mastrick noted in an article in Burke's Peerage that:

[Ruvigny's] own pedigree was false, as was his claim to the French titles he used. This lack of integrity, unhappily, destroys much of the authority of one who was a gifted, if eccentric, genealogist. Much work still needs to be done on the Jacobite peerages, baronetcies, knighthoods and Lettres de Noblesse.[3]
