British prince, known as the Old Pretender
(for the Jacobites, he was James III). Son of
James II, he was born at St James's Palace
and after the revolution of 1688 was taken to
France. He landed in Scotland in 1715 to head
a Jacobite rebellion but withdrew for lack of
support. In his later years he settled in
Rome.
