above, Charles I, one of the most notable Stewarts
The Stewarts were a scottish Dynasty
The Stewarts ruled scotland for hundreds of year, being descended from the stewards, or in Scotch "Stewarts" of the previous regime
After ruling scotland for a very long time, the Stewarts, who had become tied by blood to the english monarchs eventually came to rule england too
In this way, the stewarts cam to unite britain
However, later, the Stewarts who had backslidden into Roman Catholic Idolatry and had been overthrone became some of the british regime's enemies
The Stewarts became the object of jacobitism, a movement which sought to overthrow the hanovers, the ruling dynasty of england, and reinstate stewart rule.
Due to the disssolution of the Scottish Parliament during the Hanoverian ascendancy, Jacobitism became a force of scottish nationalism
This is interesting to me because of how pro british the stewart originally were
