The Jacobite rising of 1689 was a revolt seeking to restore James II & VII, following his deposition in November 1688. Adherents of the exiled House of Stuart were known as 'Jacobites', from Jacobus, Latin for James, and the associated political movement as Jacobitism.
Part of the wider European conflict known as the Nine Years War, the Scottish rising was launched in support of the 1689 to 1691 Williamite War in Ireland. Despite victory at Killiecrankie in July 1689, the death of Jacobite leader John Graham, 1st Viscount Dundee and lack of supplies limited the Scottish rising. Major military action ended in May 1690, although the Highlands were not finally subdued until February 1692, ending with the Massacre of Glencoe.
It was the first of a series of Jacobite rebellions and plots which continued until the mid 18th century.
