Gallery LabelJames II (1633-1701), the last Stuart king to rule both England and Scotland, was overthrown by his son-in-law William of Orange in 1688. Those who wanted to restore the Stuart line to the throne adopted the name "Jacobites" from Jacobus, the Latin form of the name James. Jacobite loyalties, which were considered treasonous, are displayed on this jug and teapot's decorations: portraits of James II's grandson, Charles Edward Stuart (the Young Pretender or Bonnie Prince Charles, 1720-88), tartan plaid kilts and the Jacobite emblem of a white rose and a thistle.
