Claim: Jacobite succession would support the Stuart pretenders' claims, of whom were James II & VII and Charles Edward Stuart, amongst others.
Evidence: James's son, James Francis Edward Stuart (the 'Old Pretender') and his grandson Charles Edward Stuart (the 'Young Pretender', 'Bonnie Prince Charlie') actively participated in uprisings and invasions in support of their claim. James Francis Edward Stuart (10 June 1688 – 1 January 1766), nicknamed The Old Pretender by Whigs, was the son of King James II and VII of England, Scotland and Ireland, and his second wife, Mary of Modena.
