Jacqueline Riding: 我研究雅各布派的历史,对雅各布派起义的方方面面都有深入的了解。雅各布派是支持詹姆斯二世及其继承人(包括他的儿子“老王位觊觎者”詹姆斯·弗朗西斯·爱德华·斯图亚特和孙子“波尼王子查理”查尔斯·爱德华·斯图亚特)继承英国王位的群体。他们认为斯图亚特家族拥有合法的继承权,并试图通过多次起义来恢复斯图亚特王朝的统治。雅各布派起义的背景是复杂的,涉及宗教冲突(天主教与新教)、政治权力斗争以及与法国等欧洲强国的国际关系。 格伦科大屠杀是雅各布派起义中的一个重要事件,它加剧了苏格兰各氏族对政府的不满,并间接地促进了雅各布派起义。1715年和1745年的起义是雅各布派运动中的两个重要事件,它们都试图恢复斯图亚特王朝的统治,但最终都失败了。 查尔斯·爱德华·斯图尔特(“波尼王子查理”)在1745年领导了最后一次雅各布派起义。他是一位有魅力的领导者,但他的起义最终在卡洛登战役中失败,标志着雅各布派运动的终结。 William Dalrymple: 我对18世纪英国历史有深入的研究,特别是雅各布派起义。詹姆斯二世是查理二世的继承人,他的天主教信仰和试图赋予天主教徒更多权利的行为引发了争议,最终导致了他被推翻。光荣革命并非当时普遍受欢迎,其背后是欧洲列强之间的权力斗争。苏格兰对光荣革命的反应与英格兰不同,苏格兰在一定程度上独立地回应了这一事件。 雅各布派起义的失败与多方面因素有关,包括领导能力、缺乏广泛的支持、以及与法国等外部势力的关系。尽管雅各布派起义最终失败,但它们对英国历史产生了深远的影响,并塑造了英国的政治和社会格局。

In 1688 the Stuart King James II was ousted from the throne by his daughter Mary and her husband William of Orange, in what is called the Glorious Revolution. This momentous change would set in motion decades of unrest across the British Isles, as the supporters of James Stuart; his son the ‘Old Pretender’ James, and his flamboyant grandson, ‘Bonnie Prince Charlie’, both exiled in France and Italy, sought to restore them to the throne of Britain. In Scotland especially, the hereditary home of the Stuarts, rebellion was constantly brewing amongst the Scottish clans, where demands by the English king for them to bend the knee would result in the bloody massacre of Glencoe…finally, with time passing and the momentum of the Stuart cause fading, the Young Pretender; Bonnie Prince Charlie, took up his family’s struggle and sailed to Scotland to reclaim his father’s crown….the storm clouds of revolt were brewing. What would be Scotland’s fate, and indeed that of Britain?

In today’s episode, William and Anita are joined by historian Jacqueline Riding to discuss the Jacobites and their fight to restore the Stuarts to the British throne, in the build up to the cataclysmic Battle of Culloden…
