certainly won't be censored. One can argue for censorhip over personal abuse or general abusive language etc - but the idea that someone should be censored for just pointing out some irrefutable facts is ludicrous. As to the Jacobite or Hanovarian figureheads. I'm interested in history but the idea that you have to support one or the other side - or that it matters in the least what we think 300 years later - is silly.

@Steely1888 Don't be daft. I'm not even a monarchist never mind pro-Hanovarian. What I have said above is the truth, Sophia's mother was a Scot whereas the Old Pretender has to go back to his grand-father to find a Scot - the people were in question were siblings and had the rules of succession not been sexist Sophia would have been monarch anyway as her mother was the eldest sibling.. That fact is ignored by people who take a preconceived one sided view on it. I'll debate all you look but I

@gaconnochie - could you stop spamming jacobite videos with pro hannovarian theories......

[gaconnochie]

@Gonzoidz The point is the oft put assertion that somehow the jacobites were of Scottish extraction whilst the Hanovarians were foreigners. As I said the succession passed to Sophia who herself had a Scottish born parent - something the Old Pretender did not have. The other thing is people criticisng people being left out because of religion when they seem to not care about people being left out because of their sex! It is a bit hypocritical.

@gaconnochie

There were 50 closer Catholic claimants to the throne than her son George, so your point is what exactly?

[gaconnochie]

@Gonzoidz Doesn't stand up to scrutiny though. When Sophia of Hanover was next in line over the Old Pretender she was by blood closer to being Scottish than he was. Her mother was Princess Elizabeth of Scotland born and initially raised in Scotland. The Pretender's closest Scottish born relative was his grand-father Charles I who was Elizabeth's younger brother. Only sexism in the laws of succession stopped Elizabeth's line being the monarchs anyway!

The true King, not imported Germans! God bless Charles Edward Stuart and down with all huns.

Great deals, good video ,but a big mistake in your intro duction Should be jacobites v hanoverians or british, the Jacobite,s were actually British too The war was really a british civil war . It was never in a million years scotland v england Culloden was fought to decide who wld be king of GREAT BRITIAN Each side had lowlanders and highlanders protestants catholics and episcopalliansThe Jacobites had english scots irish , and the hanoverians (the government).. had Scots german English.

other. and very often it split families. religion was one of the factors but not the only one.

[gaconnochie]

of support for the Jacobites was from the nonjuring Episcopalians who were much more numerous. The breakaway Episcopalian Church of scotland didn't officially accept the Hanovarian succession etc until Prince Charles died which seems to infer that though they were prepared to tolerate the catholicism of Charles and his father - supporting the claim of Henry Stuart, a Catholic cardinal, was a step too far. I suppose there were all kinds of reasons why some people came out for one side or the
