Abstract
The Hanoverian family inherited a precarious charge. The Jacobite threat to the new regime remained very serious. Notwithstanding The Act of Union of 1707 which had united Scotland with England and Wales under the Protestant faith and a common legislature, and was designed to prevent a separate Scottish foreign policy, expeditionary forces supporting James Stuart, the Old Pretender, invaded in 1708 and again in 1715. There would be further scares in 1717, 1719 and 1720. It was essential that George I and his family inspired confidence that the Act of Settlement served the best interests of the nation by demonstrating effective and dependable Protestant leadership for their British compatriots.
