The Jacobites
Those in England and Scotland who rejected the revolution of 1688 and refused to accept William III as king -- or after 1714 the Hanoverians -- were called Jacobites. In 1688, 1708, 1715, and 1745-46, the Jacobites rebelled against the new regime, but failed to dislodge it. Not all Scots were Jacobites by any means, nor were all Jacobites Scottish.
