[QUOTE="Quid est Veritas?, post: 72084374, member: 385144"] The Scottish monarchy inherited the English throne to eventually form the United Kingdom. The inherited the English throne in 1603, but the two countries were united only in 1707. The dominions spun off later as separate monarchies, with the same ruler, so technically the Scottish monarch came to rule all. This is sometimes connected with the Stone of Scone, the traditional coronation stone of Scotland. This was stolen by Edward I of England and placed under their own coronation chair, when he tried to annex Scotland. It is said that wherever the Stone is, there Scotland would rule, if you go for such post-fact kind of thing. Interestingly, the Stuarts lost both thrones after Anne died without issue and the Hanoverian kings ascended to it. Earlier James II had been overthrown by his daughter Mary II and her husband William III during the Glorious Revolution in 1688. James II's sons became the Jacobyte pretenders to the throne, who led attempts to recover them in 1715 and 1745. Now Bonnie Prince Charlie, one of these sons, managed to take over Scotland in 1745, and seeing that they didn't recognise the Union of 1707, could be construed as the last time Scotland was ruled by a separate King of Scotland. There are still Jacobyte clubs toasting the "king over the water" today, but they are more social clubs and history buffs. The Jacobyte Stuart claim to Scotland rests today in the House of Bavaria, who inherited it after the direct line went extinct - Bonnie Prince Charlie's brother became a cardinal, who was thus a cardinal while recognised as King of England, Scotland and Ireland by the papacy, and neither of them had any children.
