    Notes:

    James II & VII was the last Roman Catholic monarch of England, Scotland, and Ireland.

    Hereditary Title:
    Declared by Act of Parliament 2 February 1689 to have abdicated 11 December 1688

    Parliament, being an advisory but in no way a sovereign body, had no ability or right in law (either at common law or by royal authority) to effect such an abdication. It is a legal and genealogical anomaly in the history of Great Britain, that at this juncture the rightful heirs general to the Crowns of England, Scotland, France, and Ireland came no longer to be generally recognised as such by the countries' leading families of the Protestant confession. To this day the rightful heir to these thrones, who is at present Franz Duke of Bavaria, has remained deprived of such recognition.
