Jacobite consorts
Encyclopedia
Jacobite
consorts are those who were married to a Jacobite pretender to the thrones of England, Scots and Ireland since the abdication of James II in 1688. By Jacobites they are thus regarded, if female, as rightful Queen Consorts of England, Scots and Ireland. Since the death of Marie-Jenke, Duchess of Bavaria
in 1983, there has been no Jacobite consort; the current pretender, Franz, Duke of Bavaria
, is not married.
After 1807, the succession passed from the House of Stuart
, and none of the Jacobite heirs since has actually claimed the thrones of England and Scotland or incorporated the arms of England and Scotland in their coats-of-arms.
