End of Public Claims

Part of: Death of Henry Benedict Stuart ends Jacobitism

Henry's death marked the effective end of Jacobitism, as subsequent heirs did not pursue the claim.

Following Henry's death in 1807, the Jacobite claim passed to those excluded by the 1701 Act of Settlement. Since his death, none of the Jacobite heirs have claimed the English or Scottish thrones, marking the effective end of the movement as a political cause.
