Meaning of the Jacobite toast and royal succession
The Jacobites used the toast “To the little gentleman in velvet” to mock the mole said to trip King William II at Hampton Court. The king’s fall helped trigger illness and death in 1702, passing the crown to Queen Anne. Jacobite plans aimed to restore James II’s line, but were overtaken by the Hanover succession. The 1715 and 1745 attempts by James III and Charles Edward Stuart failed, with Culloden sealing the defeat.
