A portrait of James Stuart, son of [James II of England](https://www.worldhistory.org/James_II_of_England/). Known later as the Old Pretender because he claimed the throne abdicated by his father, James was born on 10 June 1688, and the arrival of a Catholic heir was one of the causes of the [Glorious Revolution](https://www.worldhistory.org/Glorious_Revolution/). James died in 1746.
