Prince Charles Edward book (1900) by Andrew Lang. James Francis Edward Stuart, the Old Pretender (born June 10, 1688, London, Eng. __died Jan. 1, 1766, Rome, Papal States [Italy]), son of the deposed Roman Catholic monarch James II of England and claimant to the English and Scottish thrones. Styled James III of England and James VIII of Scotland by his supporters, he made several halfhearted efforts to gain his crown. Upon the death of James II in 1701, the French king Louis XIV proclaimed James king of England. James___s adherence to Roman Catholicism caused the English Parliament to pass a bill of attainder against him in 1701. In 1708 the Pretender set out in French ships to invade Scotland, but he was driven away by the British before he could land. In 1714 he refused to accept suggestions by Robert Harley and Viscount Bolingbroke that he renounce Roman Catholicism and become an Anglican in order to be designated Queen Anne___s heir to the throne of England. He had two sons, Charles Edward, the Young Pretender, and Henry, later the cardinal duke of York.
