JACOBITE PEERAGE

After the deposition by the English parliament in February 1689 of King James II and VII from the thrones of England and Ireland (the Scottish Estates followed suit on April 11, 1689), he and his successors continued to create peers and baronets, which they believed was their right. These creations were not recognised by James's ''de facto'' successors or British law, but the titles were used in Jacobite circles on Continental Europe and recognised by both France and Spain and the Pope. The following tables list the peerages and baronetcies created by the Stuart pretenders in exile. The tables present the situation from the Jacobite perspective, and so titles granted after 1689 by King James II's ''de facto'' successors to the throne, whose authority was not recognised by Jacobites, are represented in inverted commas.
