The reign of Queen Anne, the last monarch of the House of Stuart, ends in 1714.

She is succeeded by her second cousin, George I, of the House of Hanover, who is a descendant of the Stuarts through his maternal grandmother, Elizabeth, daughter of James VI & I.

A series of Jacobite rebellions breaks out in an attempt to restore the Stuart monarchy, but all ultimately fail.

Several Planned French invasions are attempted, also with the intention of placing the Stuarts on the throne.
