The last Stuart King of Scotland

King James VIIToday marks the first official papal visit to the UK. It also marks the anniversary of the death of King James VII (James II of England and Ireland), Britain's last Catholic monarch. His passing on 16 September 1701 marked the end of the Stuart dynasty (although the Jacobites seeking to overthrow his Protestant successor, William III, remained a potent force, precipitating civil wars throughout the first half of the 18th century).

James VII was the great-grandson of Mary Queen of Scots. Amongst the millions of digitised historic records at the Centre, many relate to the individuals who have shaped Scotland's often turbulent history. Mary's second marriage certificate is one fine example from our archives - check it out at Famous Scots-Examples of records.
